Galaxy ship calculator From: "Baruch Even" <barucheven@writeme.com> Date: Tue, 24 Mar 1998 00:00:00 +0000 Hello, I'm trying to write a (yet another) Ship Design calculator, this time in Java. I've found all of the formulas I need but I'm puzzled how the EffAttack is calculated for a ship, since this attribute is keyed also the opposing ship at hand. Also the percentaged shields protection, I gather that the 100% is just 4 times the EffShield and the 0 is one fourth of it, I understand that the 25, and 75 are the half and 2 correspondingly, is it true? Any help about this is appreciated. The idea behind the calculator is to have it also calculate how many shields I need to put to get some defined protection level, and basically to ease ship development by attributes (EffShield, Range etc.) rather than by Properties (Shield, Drive, Weapon etc). Thanks in advance, Baruch Even, --- barucheven@writeme.com add a dot between ch and ev to mail me. Up
