Title: Are grade points this powerful?
Post by: martinuzz on September 04, 2010, 04:05:11 AM

I noticed in the individual ship screen, that a ship, of which the design has a 57% annual failure rate, has a 0% annual failure rate.
It has a 2000 grade point crew.
Is it because of the crew that it's AFR is that good, or is it because it has no years on it's maintenance clock?

Hi,
Those more experienced than I can correct me if I'm wrong, but I suspect the failure rate is related to the clock, not the grade points.
Grade points impact crew response time.

You're correct on the first, but TF training is what impacts crew response time. Grade points affect the chance to hit with weapons, mostly.

Which stack in addition if I remember right.
Having a 50% gauss, and a 20% crew bonus, seems to result in 70%.
And having -50% by eccm results in never hitting ^^.
Man, I wish crew grade would influence engineering

It does. The chance of system failure is reduced by the crew grade.

I never stop learning.
