Topic: Breaking down the Majestic

Hello, just recently picked up the game and in trying to get my head around the design system decided I'd reverse engineer the Majestic battlecruiser.

I've done the math a few times and rechecked everything more than that but am coming up with numbers that aren't right. 

For instance I have her SU at 2295 total when it should be under 2288 and her combat rating at around 392 when it shows 320. 

I know it's a large ask but would someone be willing to type out the long form math on how she is put together?

I'd show my work but am limited to mobile at the moment.

Re: Breaking down the Majestic

Welcome! Let's see what we can do for you.

Space units first:

Hull 11 = 2288 SUs (11 x (11+15) x 8)

Engines 5 = 825 SUs (5 x 11 x (11+4))
Shields 3 = 363 SUs (3 x 11 x 11)

Lightning Cannons = 292 SUs (18.2 x (4+12))
Fusion Torpedoes = 264 SUs (32.9 x (4+4))
Close Defense = 126 SUs (7.0 x (6+12))

Countermeasures = 121 SUs (1 x 11 x 11)
Fire Control = 205 SUs (682 x 30%)
Hyperdrive = 99 SUs (0.6 x 11 x (11+4))

-7 SUs remaining (yeah, it's a slight cheat. If it bothers you, take off one Close Defense mount smile )

Now for the Combat Rating:

ORAT =
-Lightning Cannons = 390 (292 x (15+5) / 15)
-Fusion Torpedoes = 374 (264 x (12+5) / 12)
-Close Defense = 231 (126 x (6+5) / 6)
-Fire Control = 299 (995 x 30%)
= 1294

DRAT = 80 (11 x 12 / (6-3) x 1.5 x 1.2)

CRAT = 322 ((1294x80)^.5)

Re: Breaking down the Majestic

Alright, believe I figured out the errors.

Thanks for taking the time to lay that out!
