I'm pretty sure it was James McGuigan, but I can't find it anywhere, not even at starsfaq.com which is where I'd expect to see something by him.

IIRC he built nubians with shields, and 3 to 33 defelctors, and a beamer to hunt them down, and made a table of expected damage, and actual. If you're redoing the test, make the hunter have only one stack of beams, and no (or 10) capacitors, so other factors don't confuse things.


Thanks for the hint - it was just what I needed to find the table.

Search google groups for "Defs Predicted Actual testbed" and you find the following table...

Defs  Predicted        Actual
  1       4,262         4,270
  2       3,836         3,840
  4       3,107         3,080
  5       2,797         2,800
  6       2,517         2,510
  9       1,835         1,800
 12       1,338         1,330
 15         975           950
 18         711           670
 21         518           480
 24         378           340
 27         275           240
 30         201           150
 33         146           100


Unfortunately he couldn't find a pattern to the results.
