Veteran Norway has wrong stats

I just played against some AI, when I noticed that the veteran Norway's phasers deal about half the damage that they do when not promoted to veteran. Something's wrong with the stats, obviously.

Welcome to the forum.

The guide (and previous versions of the game) gave the veteran Norway a Type XV Phaser which did less damage, but fired in a volley. This damage reduction fits that weapon, but fires like a normal phaser. It might be that that's the problem, rather than the damage.

I guess that since it lost its Type XV Phaser some time ago (Now has Superior ECM) it wasn't changed

I see,

Well, the description also states that this new phaser deals up to doeble damage, so even if it would fire 2 shots, like a phaser platform does(which it doesn't), it would still deal the same overall damage, thus making it useless, and certainly no reason to promote it to veteran

Thanks for welcoming me btw

I think Fleetops is Awsome!

Rank 5: damagebase = 17.056

Veteran: damagebase = 10.65

2x damage = 21.3, which is larger than 17.056

I have fixed the entry on the guide to account for the new passive

@ Dominus,

You just gave me my reason

The damage-output would need to be on par with it's lower ranks then though

"The damage-output would need to be on par with it's lower ranks then though"

meaning either changing base-damage to 21.3 or making it fire 2 times (type XV) with 10.65

right?

Yup I'm sure it was just a leftover from when the phaser was Type XV and thus will be doubled.
