Actually, isn't even easier than that? I seem to remember that every single ship slot is counted individually in this cheat. Or maybe I'm mixing it up with something else...

It goes a step further in such games.

Stars does not only have a 1/512th limit but it is also unable to deal armor damage with less precision then 1 dp per ship, which is actually the most difficile part.

Even a single Ship with a single torp seems to have to deal at least 1 dp per ship. So take a single Beta Destroyer with 3 torps. Lets assume for the moment luck gives you three hits.

You fire on a 100 frigate stack, 45 dp each for a total of 4.500 dp. From what I have seen in SAS5, the attacker does 300 damage per slot, in the simple example it would reduce the frigates by 900 dp to 3.600 dp. Quite a hefty damage tag for a single attacker.

You and me both profited on this in our little war we had in SAS5 Wink

This is mainly a problem with small armor values by the defender and the low tech torp weapons. Already with a Destroyer (200 dp) the actual effect on the defender is much slimmer.

Of course, if you wanted to, some 10-15 individual beta torp destroyers should be able to kill off any FF fleet within a single combat turn (unless you're IS and have Croby Shamor of course).
