| Post subject: | Game mechanics: damage calculations |
Hey guys, I am confused as to how attack and defense affect damage calculations and I was hoping someone had worked out the formula. I'm rank 50, and I've found myself often hitting people with hundreds of less defense than I have attack, yet I still do not hit their damage cap. I also find that I rarely hit the damage cap of NPC's (the Sha'adin shockfighter on my bt has 260 defense and I have 360 att, but I do between 20-50 damage to it). I also recently got disabled by someone with hundreds of less attack than I have defense, so I'm really puzzled as to how damage is calculated. I know that the size of your ship affects the damage cap, but does att/deck ratio or def/deck ratio affect damage when I'm not hitting the cap? And as you get more att/def, does the difference between att and defense have to be greater to affect damage? Thanks! |

assuming wiki is accurate, this is the damage per shot equation: Damage per shot = tanh( attack*(random(0.6 to 1.666)) / (defense * 5) ) * damagecap |

Also, if you're not online anybody who can see you can disable you, they'd just probably need to repair to do it. |

and energy. and you also dont get notified when someone just does damage without disabling/raiding/hacking/usingartifacton you, so if you get disabled while offline, you may never know who really did the work. |

You will know if you get disabled who did it. |

I didn't say you won't know who landed the final blow. I said you wouldn't know for sure who did most of the damage. |

Well, generally, on BT hits the person who does the most damage is the one who kills you. |

Are you implying that you have never hit someone 5+ times only to get a "enemy is already disabled" message on your last hit? I know I have done most of the damage to some guys only to have someone else finish the guy off while I am still hitting. |
