What about 0.2% Minimum Damage. It's listed as a a bug/exploit here. But Jeff McBride said it wasn't a bug and wouldn't be changed in the 2.7K upgrade. He was right. It wasn't. Laughing

This is *not* a bug and will not change for 2.7k. It is part of the architecture of the original Stars! battle engine. If you don't want 500 alpha torpedoes to be able to destroy 30,000 Nubians, don't put your 30,000 Nubians all in one fleet.

I would chalk that to developer-speak, which could be translated as follows:

No, the game engine is working as intended. The 0.2% roundup "error" was programmed just that way. Ouch. "Fixing" it would require rewriting the best part of all the maths-code from scratch, which can be hardly justified if there's a reasonable workaround for the problem. Tough.

It is still a bug, and it can be exploited. But at least it can be cured by a regen if all else fails. I can forgive the Jeffs for it. Deal

So many Stars, so few Missiles!

In space no one can hear you scheme! Deal
