<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><u><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Error corrections include:</span></u></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Correct application of rank bonuses </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Correct application of minimum damage for plate armor</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Plate armor entry changed to negative number, instead of requiring player to invert sign.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Apply half damage for Survival Time calculation</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Corrected weapons with Salvo Delay less than 0.2 seconds.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><u><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">New features include:</span></u></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Dropdown can be used to select Accuracy, DPS, DPS/hton, or Survival Time</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Added separate lines for shockwave damage of launcher-type weapons. This allows player to consider or not consider shockwave damage as desired.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Column added for # of weapons, and fields showing total DPS, DPS/hton, and Survival Time are added at the bottom - totals are based on those weapon numbers selected.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Rank Bonuses - these are different than other reload bonuses</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm planning a redo so this can be used as a DPS calculator for weapons, as well as the survival time thing... so stay tuned.</span>The BP Professorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08447249453861085905noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56030010710411785.post-10410714335344273192014-11-11T06:28:00.000-08:002014-11-11T06:28:21.124-08:00Update - New Missiles & Base Turrets<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">New ship weapons: </span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Achilles Missile B</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Siege Missile Z</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">New base weapons: </span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Harpoon with DU3</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Deadeye Executioner</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Executioner with Thermobaric 3</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Executioner with Priority Targeting</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gargoyle</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Coaxial (updated damage)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Coaxial with Priority Targeting</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also corrected accuracy on the Siege Missile F.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the bypass capability of the Achilles and the Executioners, I updated the survival time formulas specifically for those weapons. I did not want to rework everything to add armor bypass capability... yet.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also left off some of the other new weapons, like Strike Missile B and Vortex Torpedo Z, since I don't think you are designing fleets to stand up to those weapons.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also updated the minimum damage done when dealing with plate defense, based on the comments here: <a href="http://bp-information.blogspot.com/2014/11/hailstorm-raid-prelim-info.html">http://bp-information.blogspot.com/2014/11/hailstorm-raid-prelim-info.html</a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also added:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Coax Turret</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Impulse Launcher F & S</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Scarab UAV</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Remember - The Survival Time does not account for shockwaves on launcher weapons. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The number of shockwaves depends on how many launchers are firing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you have any specific weapons you think I should include on this calculator, or other ideas for improvement, let me know on the comments.</span>The BP Professorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08447249453861085905noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56030010710411785.post-45920597202546167502014-05-17T19:48:00.003-07:002014-05-17T20:02:50.666-07:00Added the Dragonfly<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strike>That's it.</strike> And the Chaos Mortar and the Impact Cannon R</span>The BP Professorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08447249453861085905noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56030010710411785.post-27278410636663963442014-04-07T06:33:00.000-07:002014-04-07T06:33:29.443-07:00Public Release<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First Release with article at <a href="http://bpprof.blogspot.com/2014/04/introducing-survival-time-calculator.html">http://bpprof.blogspot.com/2014/04/introducing-survival-time-calculator.html</a></span>The BP Professorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08447249453861085905noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56030010710411785.post-15370294226597190272014-03-12T06:23:00.003-07:002014-03-12T06:23:46.772-07:00Beta 3<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Added Hornet UAV, updated color scheme at top.</span>The BP Professorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08447249453861085905noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56030010710411785.post-62755629513586082562014-02-25T07:28:00.001-08:002014-02-25T07:28:49.050-08:00Beta 2Added Reload and Accuracy/Splash modifications.
