thinkblindly Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 For example, the nasher. Ap:hacking. I figured it meant ratio, 2:1 kind of thing, but sometimes it fails even when it seems it shouldn't. What is the actual calculation for success?

thinkblindly Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 Rather, anarchy:remaining ap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberboy2000 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 It would be good if your chance of succés was more clear. In some events I will succeed with a low level of skill but fail with a high level of skill. That might just be what it feels like (I must have really poor luck with this type of thing) but I often stay away from such gambling while I may not in games like FTL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinkblindly Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 I've tried a couple different things-Ap less than skill, have succeeded. Equal, have succeeded. More, have suceeded.All failed more than not, but it throws that idea out of the window.Maybe it is skill x remaining ap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinkblindly Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 No- have succeeded with 0 remaining ap. I understand that not knowing gives a risk factor, and I don't want the game just showing a percentage- but having a basic understanding would be cool.

keypusher Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I think the check is purely on your current skill level (hacking, anarchy, etc). The cost is separate, and always incurred (remaining AP, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fernsauce Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 The exact calculation is 1d10 + skill level >= 8. So even with 6 points in a skill you can still fail on a 1 (10% of the time). With no investment in a skill you have a 40% shot of success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinkblindly Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 Thanks! The : remaining ap threw me off. Thought it meant ap had a hand in skill checks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
