Beam deflectors don't, and Nubians can quite easily carry large numbers of these cheap components to reduce beam damage to a remarkable degree. And someone (Dan Neely?) calculated that rounding errors improve the effect above even that of the formula.


I've just spent a while searching for details on these rounding errors, but can't find anything specific. Can anyone point me at a formula for capacitors/deflectors that gives the correct results taking these rounding errors into consideration ?



I remember the article, but not the details ... What I do remember was that the effect of the deflectors on the armor was correct, but with shields the deflectors gave better results.
