Full version of Fleet Calc v1.003 for Star Ruler 2.
The purpose of this mod is to try and present Fleet Strength calculations that more accurately represent various design and fleet compositions and more accurately estimate the performance of a fleet. While this may be useful to players for judging fleets quickly at a glace, it should also help the AI to better gauge the relative strength of its fleets against others.
How It Works
The basic normal formula for Fleet Strength is:
- (HP + Shield) * DPS = Fleet Strength
This mod changes it to:
- ((HP + RepairFactor) * SizeFactor + (ShieldRegenFactor * Shields)/ShieldBlock + DeflectionFactor) * DPS
The factors are calculated as follows:
- RepairFactor = Repair/3 * Log10(Repair/3)^2
- SizeFactor = 1 + Log10(Size) * 0.1 -> (Represents DR scaling)
- ShieldRegenFactor = 1 + Log10(ShieldRegen) * 2
- DeflectionFactor = Deflections * Size/20 * (Repair/3 + ShieldRegen/ShieldBlock)
The following additional factors are included as well:
- Destroyers get an additional 50% factor applied as ((HP + RepairFactor) * SizeFactor) * 1.5
- Support Ships with Shield Behavior get an additional 10% factor applied as ((HP + RepairFactor) * SizeFactor + (ShieldRegenFactor * Shields)/ShieldBlock) * 1.1
The factor scaling should be considered experimental and may require adjustments. Feel free to give feedback on the weighting given to the various factors and to suggest other factors that should be included but are not.
