I was wondering if someone could clarify the mechanics of the Gatling class of beam weapons...

The way the description reads, I would expect the Gatling, once in range to dispense (Capacitors and Deflectors aside) 31 points of damage to all targets in range.

However, a recent battle in which I participated, painted a rather different picture.

I had a Battleship armed with 20 Gatlings.
My opponent had about a dozen destroyers, armed with 3 Gatlings apiece, and about 500 points of armour each.

I thought my BS would damage each destroyer in range by 620 points each turn.

As it turns out, my poor lumbering ship was torn to bits by the little people in a few turns of combat.

I'd be grateful if somebody could shed some light on this situation, so I can make better informed mistakes in the future. Smile
