Hello!

Have somebody done list of starships, that tells how much damage different ship hulls take from different torpedoes.

I have tried different ships in battle simulator, but it is quite time comsuming.

If there would be complete torpedo damage list, it would be easy to choose right torpedoes. I know mk 4 & mk7 are the best overall, but i have found out, that sometimes mk8 can be right solution, if my main enemy has a lot of ships that take significantly more damage from mk8 than mk7.

If no list is present, is there some easy way to calculate damage against different shipmass?

You don't technically have to do a whole lot of math but just use a slide rule. Mk7's and 8's do the same hull damage usually on heavy carriers. So it's just plain obvious to use mk7's due to the miss ratio.

However on medium and light ships MK8's are worlds stronger.

4's are ok, and can do more than most give credit. But they won't put you over the finish line in the leader seat. It's best to start with 4's and move up when you can. But if you want tubes and 7-8's are not available 4's are an acceptable choice also.

All other torpedoes (gamma bombs for capturing rather than killing/laying) are basically not cost effective to what one wants to accomplish. However if that's what you got and you need it. There is no rule saying you can't. Use what is needed.

Hey

I thought this would be useful, so I made one.

Hope it helps.

Enjoy

EDIT: All the Fed ships have 50kt added onto their mass to account for the fed bonus.

Thanks!

That was directly what i was looking for

(for example Against golem, if it is shields down mk 4 and mk8 do the same damage.. so i can choose the mk4 ship to sacrifice instead of mk 7 ship)..

Yeah. I was also shocked to see that. Even went into the VCR to check my formula was correct. Against the Biocide and the Golem. Very good to know...

Thanks, this is a brilliant chart. And yes, looks like it is about time to start pumping out some mk4 battleships...

does this chart account for the mass increase for right side advantage in vcrs for certain mass ships?
or is it just averaged out.
ill go look at your document now.
