Firing mechanism and damage explanation

[Echoez]

Pretty sure its in the 30-40 range, actually. I think Frago mentioned it to me before, but if that's wrong, blame Shink.

Well, according to Incediary ignition chances, you would mostly be correct, now that I remember it properly, incediary gives you an 20% ingition chance per hit, the average I got from the Heavy carronade were 8-12 fire stacks at once, so it probably fires 50 pellets.

Now imagine that gun spawning 50 actual, lightining fast projectiles. xD

The gat only spawns one projectile at a time though. Can't believe having 5 projectiles more per second on the screen would hurt fps more than the mortar projectiles which have smoke trailing them.

The weapons spreadsheet is in dire need of an update. Seems like there are more old stats than current ones on it at this point.

[Alistair MacBain]

Probably because most guns got changed in the last patch and the new numbers arent included yet.

(there were more old stats than new ones before this patch too)

If the Armour of a ship is down and you hit it with a Heavy Flak Cannon, The primary damage hits it and eals its damage. does the secondary damage it too oris Secondary just damaging everything else around it?

[Captain Smollett]

The primary and secondary damage of the heavy flak cannon will both do damage the permahull if the heavy flak round hits an unarmored hull.

I thought so! time to gloat at a friend

So, new question: How do the modifiers work, especially buff? B - Basedamage; D - Final damage; A - Ammo modifier; buff - Buff modifier (so either 1 for no buff or 1,2 for buffed); C - Component modifier/ Damage type modifier

Is it
D=B*A*buff*C
or
D=B*(A+buff+C-2)

or something entirely different?

[N-Sunderland]

I'm pretty certain that it works like this:

D=(B1*C1+B2*C2)*(A+buff)

So for example, a buffed, charged merc against hull armour would do this:

D=(75*1.5+300*0.2)*(0.3+1.2)

Which comes out to 258.75.

Wait isn't it this? D=(75*1.5+300*0.2) * (1.3*1.2)  I'm pretty sure that's how it works.

According to Cullen (found this out via Echo), the buff and ammo modifiers are added, not multiplied.

[Captain Smollett]

Skeptical am I.

I might need to devise some tests.

Wait people realy didn't know of this?
