Topic: Weapon Damage chart

I was going to use the Novara class Light Cruiser as an example ship for indicating Turrets/No. of guns. As the shipyard can indicate number of guns in a turret. Thus all guns could have ROF of 1 having each turret only being able to fire at one target.

I noticed something weird with the Weapons Damage Chart. Niether the official sxca nor the shipyard return the full number of 'letters' for the chart.
With a hull of 2 the X battery gives 27 letters and Y battery 18. However the official sxca only goes up to a total of 36 and when I added this to the shipyard I only went up to a total of 42. Therefore neither will tally with any calculations done by hand.

This may only be showing up on ships for Dreadnoughts (as weapon numbers may exceed available SU)

I will most likely increase the total in shipyard version 9 and add a sheet just for Dreadnought charts. Will update the how to with regards turrets.

Re: Weapon Damage chart

There's a problem with the Excel sheet, in that if the number of weapons is too high relative to the ship's size, they don't all show up in the section where the Weapon Damage Chart is calculated...

Re: Weapon Damage chart

Easy to change.
I have increased the Weapon Damage Chart spaces in The Shipyard to 54, still have room for more but that may not be needed.

Separate page added just for Dreadnoughts. Shipyard version 9 and an updated How To pdf posted.

Dan, will you be posting a list of individual gun stats? That way they can be grouped in turrets of 1 to 4 guns in the same battery.
