Centerpoint Proton torpedo calcs

Post by Ender »

I've heard these mentioned, but never seen them. Anyone got them?

I don't think they were legit. They assumed all protons have one yield.

Having not seen the calcs, I cannot comment. However if the calcs are just on the situation itself then it would reflect what one type of torp could do, which is just as good.

Either way I should like to see them

Those were calcs I did pre-ICS to prove that proton torpedoes were NOT low to mid megaton range yields. I never meant them as exact calcs, partly because of the reason IP said, and because you could get some TRULY ridiculous yields.

I probably have them around somewhere, but they wouldn't be very useful (I'd always intended to revise them, but never got around to doing it.) Just ask me next time you see me Ender.

I found them in a past SB search. Thanks though
