What is considered 'Military Shipping' and why does it give less promotion points by default than destroying commercial shipping?
I get that Ace has to give out a small amount of points cuz it stacks and can be abused by swatting fighters. But shouldn't killing 10,000 tons of military ship reward more than killing 10 hostile missiles?
"Military shipping" is simply any tonnage that has military instead of commercial designation. The factor of 10 difference corresponds to the same difference in tonnage of military vs commercial shipyards.
Having used this medal pack a few times, I will point out that the point values in the CSV are not intended for gameplay, they are set to put the medals in a readable order when you first load the CSV in-game. You are intended to set your own point scores based on how much you value each medal condition - as a baseline, I believe that a commander accumulates 100 promotion score per year just by existing, so 100 PP ~ some action equivalent to the worth of one year's quiet, nondescript service. However I'm not 100% certain on this and it may only be 25 points, so if someone can correct me, my overworked and underpaid junior LCDRs will be be grateful.
