Quick question about ship damage effects

[creepybob]

When taking ship damage, if you exceed the Damage/Effect table it says to add a Single hit for every +3 damage, and a Double hit for every +6.

So if you take, say 50 damage, which is 6 points above the upper end of the table, do you add one Triple and one Double Hit? Or do you just add the Double Hit?

Thanks in advance.

I would say just the double hit - compared with the lower end of the table, 6 damage shouldn't net you three damage results.

Not, in fairness, that it's likely to really matter. A ship taking that much damage (sub-capital-ship, anyway) is probably screwed anyway.

Quadruple hit.

Quadruple hit.

QUAD DAMAGE ?

You could look at the weapon type. If they are hit by one large weapon then I'd go with the double hit. If they ship is being struck by multiple smaller weapons or a weapon the fires multiple time then perhaps two separate single hits are more appropriate.
