Comment

New! Under development are reconfigurable weapons loads, see the SF-111 weapon storage diagram for details!
The amount of destruction is determined by % of hit on ship area and by radius of burst of weapon. Hit on polygon will determine damage to ship and be reflected in overall percentage.

A direct hit may result in a 45% damage of a component, a second hit on an area other than what was hit the first time will result in 45% on that area and if 1st area is within the burst, additional damage to 1st hit (example - 1st hit 45%, burst hit 35% results in 80% damage to 1st hit and 45% damage to second hit.

Ships are built with different alloys. Different Alloys = different results. Shields help strength of ship, reduced by number of hits.

• FWD Shields - Skin plus % strength of shields for ship model
• Aft Shields - Skin plus % strength of shields for ship

Weapon Speed comparison to Warp (100%)

Here are the latest changes, Documents on weapon theory to follow. Weapon Configuration (Change 3)

All measurements in meter format Strength is measure in percent of effect to direct hit or indirect.

Speed is Factor of Warp	(--------------------------WARP1)
