energy use formula #156

Open StarryWisdom opened 6 years ago

StarryWisdom commented 6 years ago

is the energy consumption formula wanted - I have it accurate to about 5% or so, it refers to options in the ini file so they probably need documenting as well

(energyUseCoeff, energy(sys)Coeff along with others)

guessing the answer is yes but before I dig up my notes I wanted to check

Sure, that would be handy to have somewhere.

okay needs nicer fluffy words probably (this is accurate to about 5%, done without the help of network tools about a year back - if we can get it more accurate I would be happy)

note the engineering display applies energyUseCoeff twice in showing number, didnt test if true of other variables

location of variables energyUseCoeff - ini file energyCoeff[sys] - ini file shipEfficiency - the vessel data entry for the ship efficiency warpEfficiency - the vessel data entry for the ship warp efficiency jumpEfficiency - the vessel data entry for the ship jump efficiency

calculated values shieldCoeff - 1.0 if off 1.5 if on diffCoeff = 2.3+difficulty*0.35 <--- this is slightly wrong - very close on difficulty 10 probably a large source of the error

energy formulas 0.8 energy a second regen for each system { 0.01energyUseCoeffenergyCoeff[sys]diffCoeffshieldsCoeff(power%power%)shipEfficiency } warp energy use (per second) 0.3energyUseCoeffjumpEfficiencydiffCoeffshieldCoeff(warp factor*warp factor)

as yet unknowns beams use ? energy per shot (mean to test) jump drive uses ? per jump

I have no really good idea of how to display this....
