Ah, but as it's technically a weapon, doesn't this mean that you can only use it on the enemy? Still, maybe the Abbai would be interested...

Of course, if the rules are misphrased and "reduced to" is what's intended, we can throw it in with all the other errata we seem to be needing :wink:katadder said:neko said:Turbo Weapons actually hits low AD systems the worst, as the calculation given is how much the AD is reduced by. Example: For a 2AD system, half is 1AD, +1 is 2AD. 2AD reduced by 2AD is... well, the weapon system technically now has double damage, so it's supposedly balanced :lol:
It's all good and well saying that the drawbacks on certain results are for balance, but that requires balance between the benefit and drawback. As such, some results remain as downgrades, and I think it's bad enough for the player that they've just lost 2 hard fought for XP, without the slap in the face of also forcing him to downgrade his ship.
you should see it on a Tiracas beam1AD halved rounded up plus 1 gives a 2AD precise DD beam. best upgrade for them.

Yeah the way you did it is quite obviously how it is intended to work. But it is worded incorrectly. It shold say reduced to, not reduced by. That one little word changes the entire meaning.
Okay, then at least it's worded vaguely with 2 (well actually more like 5) ways of working it out. By saying "reduced to" it would be totally clear.Myrm said:Burger said:Back off topic

Hmm not to me, I saw a mathematical operator (the +) and immediately kicked into BODMAS mode overriding english grammar with mathematical ordering, so did the division first then added the one because it was not expressed as 'reduced by (half [rounded up] +1)'
