Torpedo/Mine Ratios
Cost/100 mines MC/100 Min/100 (of each mineral) -------------- ------ ------- Mark 1 Photon 100.00 100.00 Proton Torpedo 50.00 25.00 Mark 2 Photon 55.56 11.11 Gamma Bomb 62.50 6.25 Mark 3 Photon 48.00 4.00 Mark 4 Photon 36.11 2.78 Mark 5 Photon 63.27 2.04 Mark 6 Photon 54.69 1.56 Mark 7 Photon 44.44 1.23 Mark 8 Photon 54.00 1.00 Best value/MC : Mark 4 torps Best value/Min : Mark 8 torps Mines Laid = # torps * (torp position)^2 Mines Swept = # beams * (beam position)^2 * minesweeprate Mine Field Radius = sqrt(# mines) NOTE: The formula for laying/sweeping mines is based on the POSITION of the type of torp, not the actual tech of the torp - e.g. Mark 7 (tech 8, pos 9) gives 9^2 = 81 mines, not 8^2 = 64 mines
