==The To-Hit-Equation==

This equation is used every single time someone fires a turret weapon in the game. The purpose of it is to determine the odds the turret has to hit its target. The value will always be between 0 and 1, or 0% and 100% if you will. The computer then generates a random number to see if a hit is scored or not.

<math>\pagecolor{Black}\color{White}\text{Chance to Hit} = {0.5^{\left({\left({\frac{V_{angular} \times 40000m}{~~acc_{turret}~~ \times sig_{target}}}\right)^{2} + \left({\frac{max(0, Distance - opt_{turret})}{fall_{turret}}}\right)^{2}}\right)}}</math>

<math>\pagecolor{Black}\color{White}\text{Chance to Hit} = {0.5^{\left({\left({\frac{V_{angular} \times 40000m}{WAS \times sig_{target}}}\right)^{2} + \left({\frac{max(0, Distance - opt_{turret})}{fall_{turret}}}\right)^{2}}\right)}}</math>

...where:

* <math>\pagecolor{Black}\color{White}v_{angular}</math> Angular velocity of target in radians/second. Simply put, how many circles the target can run around you per <math>\pagecolor{Black}\color{White}{2\pi}</math> seconds.

* <math>\pagecolor{Black}\color{White}~~acc_{turret}~~</math> "~~Turret accuracy score~~" found on the attributes tab of a turret. For the purposes of keeping track of (and canceling) measurement units, this may be treated as radians/second.

* <math>\pagecolor{Black}\color{White}WAS</math> "Weapon Accuracy Score" found on the attributes tab of a turret. For the purposes of keeping track of (and canceling) measurement units, this may be treated as radians/second. The raw number, itself, can also be thought of as "I can hit, half the time, a 40-meter frigate going around me at THIS MANY milliradians per second of angular velocity."

* <math>\pagecolor{Black}\color{White}sig_{target}</math> Target signature radius in meters. The size of the target, or more precisely the radius of an imagined circle that represents the target's sensor footprint. Measured in meters.

* <math>\pagecolor{Black}\color{White}\max({0, x, \ldots})</math> A math function that takes the highest value of zero or ''x''. It is used to prevent negative values in this case; any negative numbers are replaced with zero instead.
