I'm a bit puzzled about the math in privateer gemini gold (maybe in the others too, I'm kinda new to the privateer universe, only played wing commander so far)
The damage values : When I buy FF or imrec missiles it says a missile does 20 Mj damage. Neutron guns also do 20 Mj damage.
Then why is it that a talon blows up after 2 direct missile hits, but survives 2 direct hits from my 4 neutron guns ? (2*4*20 = 160 Mj gun dmg <-> 2*20 = 40Mj missile dmg)
Weapon range : guns have a range roughly between 300 and 500 m in the specs if you buy them. However during battle they seem to range much further (judging by the distance of the opponent in the target screen)
Maybe there is some explanation for this or maybe it are (minor) bugs in the specs. I'm just curious
Otherwise, great game )
