I have been told by numerous players that the damage cap on a ship is 1/2 its decks size, just need this verified by an experienced player or a mod.


Size Class: Light Dreadnaught
Space: 544 / 549

Someone telling that they are doing over what i believe is the max damage my ship takes per hit
and how do get your damage cap is 275 when every hit i did on you did over 300 damage, obviously you have no concept of this game or maths

1/2 deck size or rank+19, whichever is higher, according to what I've been told.

I suppose it could have been critical hits.

Damage cap is decks/2 as verified by Dan:
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5720&p=45542&hilit=damage+cap#p45542

Quote:
Damage cap ceilings have been adjusted.

Prior to this change, the maximum damage dealt to a ship in a single shot was (0.5 x # of ship decks)
Now, that ceiling is (0.5 x # of ship decks), OR (0.5 x (player rank + 19)), whichever is greater.

Most ships will not notice this change, as they typically apply at least 1 deck per rank.


Your cap is 274.5 (not sure how it gets rounded in this game). No-one can hit higher than this.

Nope, you can't go over the damage cap.

What was his level? There is a second equation, (your level + 19) / 2, the game uses whichever is higher.

his level was 23 if I remember correctly. I found it odd that he only had sensors equipped, but I dont object to free food in my BT when I'm trying to get badges.

there are two equations...
(rank+19)/2 or maxdecks/2
use whichever is larger

someone, they, i my, your, i, you.... i'm confused, so please clarify
who is it with 549 decks? you? or the other person?
what's the max damage the person with 549 decks is seeing?
what level is the person with 549 decks?

again.. specify 3 pieces of information... the # of decks of the person taking damage, the level of the person taking damage, and the highest damage they saw
can't really find out anything without all 3

well... since you're possibly wrong, let's ignore that scenario and try again.... find one that you're sure about

The Damage Cap is Actually QUITE different from this!

MAX Damage Cap (PVP) = WHICHEVER is SMALLER ( ( Total Hull + Total Shields / 4 ) OR ( WHICHEVER IS LARGER ( ( DECKS / 2 ) OR ( RANK + 19 / 2 ) ) ) )

MINIMUM HITS for a ship in PvP = 4

SO Max Damage is also dictated by needing to do at least four hits to a player if they have full Shields and Hull.

So if your target has the following stats you get the following outcomes:

Code:
(Shields + hull) = 10,000, Rank = 500, and Decks = 1000
Max Damage per Hit = 500 Damage per hit.


Code:
(Shields + hull) = 10,000, Rank = 1000, and Decks = 500
Max Damage per Hit = 509.5 Damage per hit.


Code:
(Shields + hull) = 500, Rank = 10,000, and Decks = 1000
Max Damage per Hit = 125 Damage per hit.

Where did the (hull+shield)/4 come from?

I think it was based on hull (and maybe shields) a very, very long time ago.
