| Summary | 0002196: Neinzul Vulture damage is capped at x100 of base? | ||||
| Description | For the mouseover damage reading for Vultures damage seems to be capped at x100 of base (so 30,800 for mk1 vultures on normal/normal, rather than 308,000, so they max out on damage as soon as their target loses 10% of its hitpoints). It seems that that's how much damage they're actually doing as well. | ||||

Yep; it also has a minimum multiplier, iirc. Together they prevent either asymptotically bad or asymptotically good dps. |

No minimum multiplier, their minimum damage is as-is in the tooltip (damage x10), but the tooltip doesn't give a very good description of how they work in that case. If exponents are possible in the damage calculation, things might be more interesting. You could get rid of the x10 multiplier in the damage calculation, and square the difference of (101-%current health) to give them both asymptotically bad and asymptotically good DPS depending on how the health of the enemy ship is doing (which would fit their tooltip more). Squaring might be a bit much, they'd be getting x2500 damage bonus against ships at 50% health, but that'll take some balance work. Overall I really like the Neinzul ships, I've been messing around with them a lot lately and they're my current favorite ships. I would be extremely happy to see Neinzul ships show up in my ARSes. Weasels and Vultures do very well, but I think Commandos and Tigers could both use boosts and Nanoswarms need to be fixed (they're hilarious, but pretty useless right now). |
