code for BOOM chance

[Phaidros]

Hi,

I took a look at the BOOM chance code.

****
Level = Ship's Experience r1 = Crew / MaxCrewSize
IF Borg THEN IF Queen onboard THEN r2 = 1
IF no Borg THEN * IF MaxCrewSize > 1000 THEN r2 = HG / 100 *
IF MaxCrewSize <=10 THEN r2 = 10 * HG / MaxCrewSize
r3 = 1 - (DamageSys + DamageWeapons) / 100 (minimum = 0)
r = (r1 + r2 + r3) / 4
TriggerLevelOutput = r
TriggerLevel = 200
Sensitivity = 0.01
Luck = Sigmoid(Level, TriggerLevel , TriggerLevelOutput, Sensitivity)
***

r2 is only defined for crew sizes above 1000 and up to 10, but not for
the range in between. Unless a code line is missing here that would
imply that for many medium-sized ships r can't rise above a value of
0.5 and that means a 50% of a BOOM occurring with the power boost
mode.

Typo!

IF MaxCrewSize <=1000 THEN r2 = 10 * HG / MaxCrewSize

Thanks.

IF MaxCrewSize <=1000 THEN r2 = 10 * HG / MaxCrewSize
Thanks.

Ok ... but this moves the undefined value range of r2 simply above the
threshold of a Crewsize of 1000. Now it's the big ships that face a
50% chance of going BOOM. Correct?

A related question:
When does the BOOM calculation actually occur:
a) at the beginning of the vcr or
b) during the vcr at the moment when the BOOM sequence is started for
the first time?

Am I the captain of a ship whose weapons' explode due to overuse after
the first initial blasts towards the enemy or the captain of a ship
who will tell his crew through the intercomm ahead of the battle:
"Sorry Guys, our board mechanic just told me our weapon systems don't
respond. Let's do our last prayer together".

Damn. Forget that.

Unless I've missed something there is no mention of skill in there,
despite what it says in the wiki?
