Unread post Current version cannon formulas
I found this on the Cabal website. It looks like it was several versions ago when this was updated. Does anyone know if these are the current formulas in the latest twgs/tw version?

MBBS GOLD or MBBS Q-Cannon Formulas
Sector:
Damage = (Fuel * SectLvl %) / 3
Atmospheric:
Damage = (Fuel * AtmosLvl %) * 2
Example:
A typical L with 200,000 units of fuel ore, and 20% AtmosLvl, and 10% SectLvl will do 6666 points of damage to your ship when you enter the sector, and 72,000 damage if you immediately try to land on it after the sector fire.

GOLD or Classic Q-Cannon Formulas
Sector:
Damage = (Fuel * SectLvl %) / 3
Atmospheric:
Damage = (Fuel * AtmosLvl %) * .5
Example:
A typical L with 200,000 units of fuel ore, and 20% AtmosLvl, and 10% SectLvl will do 6666 points of damage to your ship when you enter the sector, and 18,000 damage if you immediately try to land on it after the sector fire.

Yes those are still accurate. The difference between classic and mbbs is as followed

........Classic          MBBS
Atmos fuel x % / 2 fuel x % * 2
Sector fuel x % / 3 fuel x % / 3

I know the classic settings are correct and those are the ones I use in the cannon damage script I released. It will be very close on predicting the next blast damage for a non-mbbs game.
