There might be a problem with the calculation, or text description of the Doctor's talent, "Generous in Service". Listed below are the results of a test using 30 landing zone economy samples, with ship's Medical Rating = 41. | Generous in Service | Doctor(8) | If ship's Medical Rating exceeds landing zone's Economy Rating,
|
|
| provides free care to citizenry and gain Rep up to half Medical Rating
|
Constant ship's medical rating = 41. (41 x .5) = +rep (maximum possible.) For example sample 11. Economy = 7, and ship's med rate =41. Maximum possible +rep should be (41 x .5) = 20.5. I received a +4 rep, 27 out of 30 times, regardless of the landing zone's economy. | # | Econ | +Rep | # | Econ | +Rep | | 1 | 22 | 2 | 16 | 12 | 2 | | 2 | 16 | 4 | 17 | 4 | 4 | | 3 | 15 | 4 | 18 | 22 | 4 | | 4 | 13 | 4 | 19 | 19 | 4 | | 5 | 15 | 4 | 20 | 13 | 4 | | 6 | 19 | 4 | 21 | 17 | 4 | | 7 | 16 | 4 | 22 | 13 | 4 | | 8 | 19 | 4 | 23 | 5 | 4 | | 9 | 20 | 4 | 24 | 17 | 4 | | 10 | 16 | 4 | 25 | 10 | 4 | | 11 | 7 | 4 | 26 | 10 | 4 | | 12 | 26 | 4 | 27 | 6 | 4 | | 13 | 16 | 10 | 28 | 4 | 4 | | 14 | 26 | 4 | 29 | 15 | 4 | | 15 | 24 | 4 | 30 | 12 | 4 |

We can try to clarify the complexity of the math in the Talent description. As you Rep goes higher, your potential rewards decrease. Generous in Service can earn you low level Rep but it isn't capable of giving +20 to +40 every time. Once you're already a hero, the rate slows down a maximum.

Generous in Service can earn you low level Rep but it isn't capable of giving +20 to +40 every time. Once you're already a hero, the rate slows down a maximum. The team that reached med-rate(41) was just a test to see how far I could go. You know me grab something and push the excelorator to the floor board. Consider the case closed. The information below are questions I was asking myself.
Since I first began using Generous in Service, not once has a bonus above 10 pts been awarded. This includes factions
I have a reputation of less than 100. For the majority of time the ship's med-rate equaled 29 to protect my crew during the red plague.
I think what is happening is the maximum +rep is (med rate x .1), instead of .5
Is it possible to meet in the middle? Maximum +rep = (med rate x .2)
What's implied is there is a range in what gets awarded. I'm thinking the lowest possible value needs to be a
little higher than .1 Perhaps a random number that can occur between .1 to .3 x medrate?

Hmmm, John Robinson thanks for pushing on this. I went and looked more closely at the code. Your Rep bonus is rolled as one BigDice(41) ... that is, one 41-sided dice. The maximum is 10. The minimum is 2. If your Rep is already over 30, the maximum is reduced to 4. So, having 41 medical rating gives you a 75% chance of getting the maximum of 10 (by rolling 10 or higher) and also ensures that no zone you visit will be able to turn away your amazing medical services. Now ... how to write that into the Talent description  |

Ok... I have tried this --
"If ship's Medical Rating exceeds zone's Economy Rating, free medical care to citizenry gains Rep up to Medical Rating but max 10 within diminishing returns above 40 Rep"

Definition clear to me. Thanks for the extra effort in such a busy cycle!  (I'm thinking allot about how Hospital ships might play a special role in the new quad. ) |
