What is the MAXIMUM damage do you think should be taken when attacking (or repairing) in 'roids?

Damage dealt times your current level. E.g. 100 damage dealt by a level 5 results in max 500 damage received.

27%
Damage dealt times your current level divided by your targets level. E.g. 100 damage dealt by a level 5 shooting a level 3 results in max 167 damage received.

Asteroid damage?

Post by calundra »

Been thinking about damage taken when attacking (and repairing) in 'roids. Please vote on what you think is right. Please assume the minimum possible is always 0 damage received. Please note that it will be affected by piloting skill, this is for the maximum you'd expect. Feel free to suggest other options and I'll add them if they are workable.

A lot of these are really high. For reference, so we can consider the choices better, what do you think is wrong with the current system? I like the randomness aspect in the current system but the above are all set formulas (granted they are based on damage which is randomish).

I will debate and vote on this when I'm more sober.

One of those is the current system, which is too high in my opinion. I actually thought one of those was way too low.

I probably should have gone with "Is Asteroid damage taken when shooting too high?" Yes / No

Well half the variables from one of them ;) I'm happy with how it is, nice surprise for bunniers / people with high combat. If needs to be changed then I reckon base it off the PDS formula but a bit higher.

Glad you enjoyed being the guinea pig in the experiment.

This is an interesting one, just been talking about it with a fellow fighter/enemy fighter in fact, we think if you make damage too high it would causse the ROIDS to become a pretty undesireable sector to be in and therefore cause it to be a sector to retreat to.....(not really what we would call worth it and a waste of a nice sector to go to).

I think in theory, if we put it into a real world situation, (as real as a space fighting scenario gets), surely the higher your level, the more experienced yo uare as a player and therefore the more skilled you'd be at dodging asteroids...?

Therefore none of the above options cater for the higher the level, the less damage you are e.g. 100 damage dealt results in in max (100/current skill level) received.

Just a suggestion

Cheers

Chrisso

p.s: how about increas in scrap levels depending on it as well? :-D
