Hi,

here is some computation I made about the average damage a weapon can do in 1 turn of firing depending on range. For the average for 2 turn of firing double the Disruptor value.

Enjoy :)

Nice chart.

There are two probabilities that are useful when planning fire in this game:

Average damage
Probability of "At Most" or "At Least" damage.

For example with photons at range 8 there is 69% chance that they will hit for 32 or less which, combined with the average 14 point from 6 phaser 1's means that you will have a pretty good chance of taking less than 20 internals but he has only just under a 1/3 chance of scoring a strike that will do meaningful damage. This reality will affect both my behavior and his.
