Summary0002467: ship caps do not seem to affect cpa sizes
DescriptionI'm playing a low ship cap game and I just got a CPA warning of 863 ships with a pair of diff 5 AIs at AIP 216. This is fine going by the formula on the wiki (216 * 5 * 0.8 = 864), but it should only be half of that due to the low ship cap, right?

You're... absolutely right. I'm surprised we didn't notice earlier :)

It should actually be 1/4 the number you were seeing; those numbers were worked out when caps were what we nowadays call "high". Normal is 1/2, low is 1/4.

Thanks, fixed for 4.069 :)
