As a kind of hobbyist beta tester I am trying to be helpful and still testing the ground survey mentioned on the last page and as part of that tried to test gravitational survey to make sense of the principles involved and be sure I understood how it worked.
Apparently I dont, as my survey ships appear to be getting half the survey points and one quarter of the command bonus I would expect.
Can anyone please explain these results and help me understand what is going on? I include an example with 2 screenshots to demonstrate I have not made observational errors (I hope!)
"Surveyor" ship has 3 improved gravitational sensors, produces an alleged 6 points with a 20% bonus from Cdr
Dwayne Rosiak Samuel Hutson.
A sample period of one day was tested and survey value reduction observed.
survey value 1- 239.6
survey value 2- 160.4
survey points reduction in 86400s (i.e. one day) = 239.6-160.4 = 79.2
survey points per hour observed = 79.2 / 24 hours = 3.3
expected survey points per hour = 6 (+20%) = 6 +1.2 = 7.2
I repeated this experiment with another ship of the same design with 15% command bonus and the result was 3.225/hr
This is consistent with half the expected survey points and one quarter the expected bonus.
Is that as expected or is this a bug, (like the known bug with transported items in cargo reports showing as twice the expected value) in 1.13.0 ?
If a bug is it a known bug ?
