Using the calculator is quite simple. Enter in the various fields, most of which should be self-
explanatory; however, two of them do demand special attention. First, "accuracy" is the odds
that the missile weapon will hit the target. This includes all jammers and battle computers.
There are several other utilities that will calculate this for you if you don't know how. The
second is "enemy weapon." Here you you need to enter in b, s, m, or t (standing for beamer,
sapper, missile, or torpedo). The letters do not need to be capitalized.
Ships with higher attractiveness will be targeted before those with lower scores. Please note
that Stars! has some rounding in its own targeting formulas that are not indicated by my
formulas. Because of this, ships with scores that are very close will be targeted as if their
attractiveness is exactly the same. As such if you have scores that are within five one
thousands of each other, you should run a test bed to see if they have equal attractiveness or
not.
