Borg Transwarp ship questions.

Post by Meste17 »

I looked at the specs for this ship on DITL website and the Overall Strength Index has been rated as 999,999.99, yet when I do the Starship Strength Calculator, it is rated at 7,106,872.09. Do you like just rate anything over 1,000,000 at 999,999.99? Is that the highest that you will go? :)

999,999 is more family friendly than saying "You're fucked"
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

I think that is an example of an anomaly in the scale. Mathematically, with the metrics used in the scale, certain inputs result in an inaccurate rating. A Danube class with warp 9.99999837 capability has an overall strength rating of 7,085,396, for example.

Remove the warp factor from the equation, and the Danube is rated at 42, while the Borg Teapot is rated at 21,518.

Needs greater diminishing returns. Anything after 9.999 is waste, then pre determined bonus points for things like trams warp, slip stream ect.

The correct strength is 7,106,872 - most of that coming from the immense speed score.

The site isn't displaying it, probably because the number is too big for the way the page is formatted. Should be a simple fix, I will put it on Ian's "to do" list once he's back from his cruise.
