Mission success rate calculation (engrish inside)
« on: May 01, 2012, 10:54:32 AM »

I've played v0.51a few hours ago, and tried this "Dire stars" impossible mission.
After several attempts to deal with it i succeed with only hound and three talon wings in losses. But rating was only 42%. That surprises me. It's because i must escape?

P.S. Offtop: Is "Alex" stands for "Alexander" or "Alexey"?

The goal is to get transports and combat ships through blockade, all ships in reserve must be deployed and succesfully retreat from battle.

Also, sounds like your score might be penalised by the 50% damage modifier?

What is 50% damage modifier? How it works?

Under "difficulty," if you have the player ship damage set to "50%" all of your scores on missions are cut in half.

My flagship hull HP is about 95%. Does armor counts too?

From Starfarer main menu press Settings -> top-right tab Settings -> Damage taken by your ships. If set to half you got only 50% score for missions.

Finally got it, what a trap. Does it means with this option turned to "Full" i would have received 84% rating?

Yes, on the other hand with full damage this mission is more difficult to accomplish.

Thanks. It's not an issue, i always keep my flagship at full health. I will try this mission in 0.52a within this week or month maybe.

Did it in 0.52, all goals reached but rating is only 55%. Still have no idea how it calculates, but personally i think it's a good result - most ships are alive and the enemy is defeated.

UPD:"Full damage" is on.

You lose points from full score if your ships are disabled, and get no points if the enemy escapes. For 100%, disable all enemy ships with no losses whatsoever.

I thought mission goals have much more "weight" in calculation than ship losses especially considering the balance of fleets power. But it's only alpha, maybe formulas will be improved.
