Odds of Victory and Combat Timer

[raphael]

So I've tried figuring out today how the odds of victory and combat timer are calculated, and I've come up with a formula.

If you want to know the odds and timer even before the battle starts, just post the power ratings of both ships here and I'll reply as soon as I'm able.

The odds don't always mean poop though. If you hadn't run away from Kraken that one time it would have tore your ship apart even though the odds were shown in your favor lol. Odds are a rough guideline.

yeah i never bother with odds since i love to fight at around 7:14 in enemy favour. It cuts down on the combat clock. now that calculator is handy to find out how long it will take to complete a mission.

I only really pay attention to it when it looks like me and the other side have about the same amount of armament. That is only in real combat situations. Not COM missions usually.
