Red Ships & Refurbs

Rob/Steal Formulas

It seems some twgs sysops are getting a little "creative" with the rob/steal ratios in thier games. Just to help you out a bit, here is what you need to do to find out just how to play red in a game. First, from the game menu type * to see what the settings are. If both rob and steal are set to 100%, then it is classic door: rob=3%exp, steal=exp/30. If the settings are 50% rob, 70% steal, then it is in MBBS mode: rob=6%exp, steal=exp/21. Anything else then you will need to apply this forumula:
Rob: 3/(%set)= (x)% exp to rob
Steal: 30*(%set)=exp/(x) to steal
Replace the (%set) with what the game settings are, (x) is the product.
Happy Crimes!

Q-Cannon Settings

Standard Mode -
1,000,000 Ore on planet
1% Setting
10,000 Ore used
Sector - 3,333 Damage done
Atmos - 5,000 Damage done

MBBS Mode -
1,000,000 Ore on planet
1% Setting
10,000 Ore used
Sector - 3,333 Damage done
Atmos - 20,000 Damage done

This is slightly different from HVS MBBS, but the ratio of damage done, and fuel used remains consistant. Keep this in mind when setting your cannons :)
