Combat Question

Woke up early and realized I can't remember something. I could test it but I am sure someone knows the answer.

Hardened noodlejet attacks mind worm boil in base with air complex, defender has Neural Amp=what odds?

3 to 2 basic. Complex doubles and NA adds half. I make that 2*2.5=5

So I am thinking 3 to 5 odds. Is that correct?

No, because bonuses multiply, not add. All else being equal, you'd have 2*2*1.5=6, or odds of 3 to 6 (which should be 1 to 2).

Not only that, but the Aerospace complex has no effect on psi combat. The odds are 3 to 3.

Valid point - oops!

Capt Dizle · May 25, 2002, 13:04

No, if the complex has no effect on psi combat, then the base defense 25% surely counts.

Capt Dizle · May 25, 2002, 13:08

I guess that would be 2*1.25*1.5=3.75

3 to 3.75.

Does that sound right to anyone.

Now, why does this discussion make me just a wee bit nervous?

Capt Dizle · May 25, 2002, 13:55

I built NA in my head to head with Darsnan you dope. Gee, you see demons in daisies don't you.

Are my odds correct?

You would be paranoid, too, if the whole world were out to get you!

I think that's right. Before morale/lifecycle effects and sensors.

Also, if the base in question is a seabase, the basic odds are only 1:1

MariOne probably has an excel sheet with all of this broken out. Hope he drops by soon!

Capt Dizle · May 25, 2002, 15:09

I don't understand why the seabase makes a difference?

Psi combat with air and sea defenders=1to 1 basic
Psi combat with land defender=3 to 2 basic

Anyway I found a chart here with this stuff on it but it was not confirmed by MariOne so I do not trust it.

I lost the url for it too.

My bad. I was in error about the seabase.

Checking in the editor, 3:3.75 as noted above is correct.
