Title: FS Weapon Strength in Kt: A set of calculations
Post by: Grey Wolf on May 10, 2002, 03:42:51 pm

I was working on the Photon Torpedo for a nice little MOD I was working on, so I had to figure out the Damage Points/Mt. Here's my result:

MX-50
Damage: 25
Kt: 15
Damage/Kt: 1.67

Interceptor
Damage: 150
Kt: 18.5
Damage/Kt: 8.11

Harbinger:
Damage: 3200
Kt: 5,000,000
Damage/Kt: 0.00064

So the Photon Torpedo, working from the cannon 87.5 Mt (87500 Kt) could cause 146125, 709625, or 56 damage points in FS1/2.

These kt figures are right from the FS1 tech room
You should use a broader range of missiles for comparing
Fury to Helios
Rockeye to Treb
Phoenix V to ....the hell with it
You get it :)

OK, I just did this in 5 minutes and found the results incredible funny.
