help with megatraveller 1 : Hits Value

[Magnakai]

hi, can anyone here tell me how Hits Value x/x is exactly calculated from str, dex, and end for megatraveller 1 : Zhodani Conspiracy, the 1991 game from empire (lol)?

the manual there just states that hits value is based on str/dex/end combined, but that's really not good enough!

i suspect there's some table to cross-reference ur total str/dex/end to find ur x/x values, but since i don't play the p&p version i cannot derive the exact formula to calculate this.

can anyone please paste the formula and/or with the correct corresponding table pls?

I've not looked to see if it was implemented correctly in the computer game, but the real game had this: Life Force = Str + End + Dex

Life   Hits
Force  Value
------------
  3+    1/1
  6+    2/1
  9+    2/2
 12+    2/3
 15+    3/3
 18+    3/4
 21+    3/5
 24+    4/5
 27+    4/6
 30+    4/7
 33+    5/7
 36+    5/8
 39+    5/9
 42+    6/9
 45+    6/10

(I wonder if the 6+ line shouldn't be 1/2.)

given X/Y
No. THe X pattern is 4@x, 4@(x+1), 4@(x+2) etc, with it starting at 6+.
Y pattern is 2@y, 1@(y+1), 2@(y+2), 1@(Y+3)etc, starting at 3+
The 1-2 line would be 1/0, BTW.

Extending it:

48+ 6/11
51+ 7/11
54+ 7/12
57+ 7/13
60+ 8/13
63+ 8/14
66+ 8/15
69+ 9/15
72+ 9/16
75+ 9/17

I think the computer game has the hit values switched (so instead of 3/5 for your average guy, it's 5/3) and then multiplied them by something, 2 or 3, I think. But it's been a while, so I'm not sure.
