Jmattax recently simplified the formula for mass damage from over gating in the Guts of overgating article which I'm all for...and as stated he's mathematically correct. However the formula is attributed to Steven Posey and I find it difficult to believe he wouldn't have not simplified it himself without some good reason.
Doesn't anyone know such a reason?
Is the formula incorrect?
Before simplifying:
MassDamage%=100%*(1-((5*maxSmass-mass)/(5*maxSmass-maxSmass) *(5*maxRmass-mass)/(5*maxRmass-maxRmass)))
After simplifying:
MassDamage%=100%*(1-((5*maxSmass-mass)/(4*maxSmass) *(5*maxRmass-mass)/(4*maxRmass)))
where: maxSmass is the mass limit of the Sending gate. maxRmass is the mass limit of the Receiving gate.
