just remember people, the damage shown in the above chart and on infocards ingame is not the actual damage used for game mechanics.

just remember people, the damage shown in the above chart and on infocards ingame is not the actual damage used for game mechanics.So, why would the game developers put those numbers in the game. Are they just made up?Perhaps you do not comprehend the word "Average". I believe some of the figures are based on an average.you haven't checked the entity files yet at all, have you?the damage numbers are "rough" (saw IC/stardock use that term) estimates.every number in the game is rounded up or down if its not an integer for display purposes only (isn't rounded up in the game mechanics). This applies to dps, shield mitigation and even % from the research (e.g, like for vasari damage bonus from culture upgrades: 3.75% shows 4%, 7.5% shows 8, 11.25% shows 11). The developers did this to make the UI more "user friendly", however I dont see why having number like 4 instead of 3.xy makes the UI more user friendly or even 4 instead of 3.x. Never saw any mods that change UI in other games to get rid of decimals completely.basically theres no averaging done in the display, just rounding.please dont insult me next time by saying I don't know what average means, I didn't want to insult you when you said its too confusing to do something extremely simple and stopped posting all together until they made this a sticky.heres a nice way to check the entity files without actually opening them.http://roe.totalgamingnetwork.com/wiki/index.php/Sins_of_a_Solar_Empire/Light_Frigatedamage of the light frigate is.# DamagePerBank:FRONT 52.250000# DamagePerBank:BACK 0.000000# DamagePerBank:LEFT 0.000000# DamagePerBank:RIGHT 0.000000# PreBuffCooldownTime 5.500000 52.5/5.5 = 9.5 dps they round it up to 10 for display purposes.

The numbers the game developers provided within the game will work just fine. I don't care about your fascination with decimals.Please stop trying to defend your chart. Wrong information is wrong information. At the very least, please update it so that the numbers are correct.

No, the entity files are correct. They're the numbers that the game engine actually uses. I never thought people could be so willfully ignorant.

So it is a wrong to feel slighted that my own comparison chart, in its fourth version, made 4 weeks ago, with 4x as much information, with 4+ people asking for it to be stickied, is ignored in favor of this one?https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/?forumid=404&aid=177682http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=p7xc_snd9Cc-6o2UwvPEWUg&gid=0

You can go use that other chart which is impossible to read. Have fun.

Hey Rruelgor, maybe there's some way of finding the atack range of each ship. I know it tells you ingame whether it's long, short or medium range but if we could find a little more info on what those ranges are, well that's an obvious addition to the chart. Plus maybe it'd give zyrxil a reason to say something positive for a change ....lol

Thanks Kruler;The data in your chart is all averaged though (in otherwords useless for anyone reading it) so I think people should use the more comprehensive statistics found here:http://roe.totalgamingnetwork.com/wiki/index.php/Category:Sins_of_a_Solar_Empire%2C_ShipsThanks anyway!

It's a useless chart for the average player. In fact, it's not a chart at all. It does have good decimal data, but each ship is listed on separate pages which makes it impossible to COMPARE ships.It's not a chart, that's correct. It's a database. Although it is better for comparing ships since they're divided up by their classes. All Long-Range Frigates on one page. All Flak Frigates on one page. And so on.However, it is pointless to make a chart on the information that you can simply read off the infocards in the game.Now stop trying to be smart with all your little useless decimals, and forget it.Take a common example of your average non-upgraded Advent Fighter Squadron.1.33 x 9 = 11.97 or ~12 DPS1 x 9 = 9 DPSIgnoring decimals can throw you way off. This difference expands as technology upgrades are counted in.

No one cares. At least I don't. I didn't even read your message as soon as I saw all the decimals.
