Hi!

I'm affraid you're not doing your calculation right. If it would be done your way there wouldn't be possible to travel W-10 through a minefileld larger than 56 LY. The right calc is
(1 - prob_of_hit_per_LY) ^ distance_traveled
In your case it is 0.988^35 = 0.655.
BR, Iztok

Can you explain this more. Does that .655 represent a 65.5% chance to hit the field? or a 0.655% chance per ly to hit? Also you sure on that formula? The way you set it up it would suggest going faster through a minefield would actually lower your chances of getting hit. Did you mean 1 - (prob_of_hit_per_LY ^ distance_traveled)
