We are finishing various utilities for use in Alliance Hosting, and some will be made accessible on the Portal in this section. The coding is done but we need to get the final combat and capping rules to make sure things are giving accurate results before we release them here.

The following utility was coded by Jedi_Halcyon of Land of Jedi knights. He may be making updates that will appear first on his site, http://www.angelfire.com/games2/jedimaster/.

ASTEROID SCANNING SUCCESS CALCULATOR

How to work the calc:

In order to have success in scanning for roids you must have wave amps and asteroid scans. You should always launch all the asteroid scans you have available at the same time, otherwise the roids you acquire in the first scans will interfere with the scanning for the next operations. IMPORTANT: The way Planetarion is set up, there are two different formulae used; one is for use when your planet has 200 or FEWER roids, the other when your planet has 201 roids or more.

Check how many roids you have now, BEFORE you scan. Enter that amount in the appropriate field of the utility below (depending on whether you have under 200 roids or not). Then enter the number of wave amps you have. Then click on the "Calculate" button. The answer you receive tells you the percentage of success you will have ON AVERAGE if you were to perform ONE scan at that time. Remember that there is a large probability variance in the real game, so results may not match!

Then use the Multiplier below. Enter the percentage you recieved on the keypad. (IMPORTANT: Percentage must be entered as .50 if the result is 50%, don't forget to move the decimal place 2 points to left.) Then multiply by the NUMBER OF SCANS you want to perform at that time (must be done together. Click the = sign and you have the likely result of your scanning. Happy hunting!
