Topic: Striker formula bug?

p. 60 of S:AE says:

"Striker flights have a capacity requirement of 20. If using option F.1: Customized Fighter Flights, the initial coefficient in the capacity requirements formula is 19, not 183."

But (19 * 7^2 * 10 * 1/6 * 1/6)^(1/2) rounded up is 17, not 20. The formula is correct for non-striker fighters, why not for strikers?

I don't see anything about this in the FAQ.

Re: Striker formula bug?

I believe the coefficient should be 29, not 19.

Should this be in the FAQ? Should there be a link to the FAQ/errata on the main Starmada page?

Re: Striker formula bug?

Correct, the coefficient is 29 giving a capacity requirement of 20.
The download Starmada AE version shows this figure for strikers on page 60. Perhaps this is an error in the printed version?

Yes, it's an error in my printed version. I had a correction (which I made myself in pencil) in my (earlier) downloaded version.

May I suggest that there should be an easily-located file showing all of the corrections needed to the printed version?
