AX Weapon Damage Partitions

person Maligno
1. Introduction There has been recent success in using rigorous mathematical techniques to accurately estimate the damage partitioning of human weapons, such as Plasma Accelerators and Railguns [1].  Information from the weapon damage partitioning study and similar mathematical techniques were leveraged to get accurate estimates of the Thargoid Interceptor shield characteristics, such as initial strength…

Thargoid Interceptor Shield Analysis

person Maligno
1. Introduction The subject of this article is the accurate estimation of Thargoid Interceptor shield strength.  An initial analysis was carried out to estimate these values and is referenced here in its entirety [1].  Given the success of the mathematical techniques used to accurately estimate the damage partitioning in human weapons such as Plasma Accelerators…

Weapon Damage Partition Analysis

1. Executive Summary The partition of the different types of damage (i.e. thermal, kinetic, absolute) has been determined for Railguns, Incendiary Multi-Cannons, and Plasma Accelerators.  The results are summarized in the table below. The community has long suspected that Railguns have a damage partition of roughly 60% thermal and 40% kinetic, with different institutions within…

This is a crashed Anaconda and temporary outpost found in HIP 83003 on planet 6 a. It has three uplinks, plus a datapoint that give encoded data materials. There are manufactured materials scattered around (all low grade). The message numbers imply that there are other messages to be found. While visiting the system check out…

A study into target selection in the Thargoid attacks of 3305

This research paper by Redden Alt-Mer and factabulous looks at the thorny issue of how the Thargoids are selecting their targets for attack. In 3305 this has been more difficult as there is greater diversity in the selected systems, and has broken assumptions made in earlier times. The paper puts forward the theory that the…

There are several varieties of Umbrella Mollusc to be found around the galaxy – they appear inside Notable Stellar Phenomena. Look for the largest concentration of signals inside the phenomena and you should find them (if they are present) – they are larger than most molluscs, so can often be spotted from a distance. In-game…

There are several varieties of Collared Pods to be found around the galaxy – they can be found in the same sector as the human bubble, so are relatively easy to visit. They appear inside Notable Stellar Phenomena. Look for the largest concentration of signals inside the phenomena and you should find them (if they…
