Yet another question:

I see that ships take a small amount of sys damage just through general usage.

Is there anything in particular that adds to this i.e sailing in bad weather, being at sea for long periods or sprinting around the entire map with hardly a break etc, etc?

[scorryuk]

Was curious about that too. Have wondered wether speed (cruise/flank) affects damage. Those coloured rings denoting range (if my understanding of it is correct!) seem dependant on speed, the outer one being max distance covered in turn at full speed. So would moving in stages to stay within green circle/range slow sys damage?

[CMDRMCTOAST]

Ships at sea acrue sys damage, thunderstorms, broken props, slamming into one another
especially combatants.
if you run fast transport convoys over extended periods of time they will acrue damage
sometimes it is necassary to keep the material moving and let sys damage buildup.
I wait till I am in the 24 to 35 range then send them back to pearl.
you should rotate back to pearl for AA upgrades anyway so not to worry.
I try not to go into combat with too much damage ( under 20 )

For some reason I am getting double postings Hey Matrix.....

[Freddy Fudpucker]

When being fired upon by flak and taking damage, a number of dots precede the a/c name in the 'combat text'. What do the dots represent?

[Bill Durrant]

I think that is the number of aircraft in that 'wing' that is attacking as when one gets destroyed a dot disappears.
