Some important questions about vehicle combat

[loconius]

just real quick, what is the damage taken in advanced vehicle combat collisions?
is the value result from the table a percentage of the structure or is it actual structural points? thanks

what is the difference between standard acc and max accel, if they don't come into play with the accelerater, rapid accelerate and emergency accelerate maneuvers in advanced vehicle combat. maybe i'm reading these wrong, but they just multiply the standard acceleration.... When does max acceleration come into play? Thanks again..

Why keep asking the same questions.

If nobody has answered them then either they don;t care, don;t know or are stuck under something heavy and can;t reach the keyboard.

The Accel question was already answered in the thread you started http://www.travellerrpg.com/cgi-bin/Trav/CotI/Discuss/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=40;t=000069

The damage question - if you need an answer, make one up that makes sense to you and post it as your suggestion.

I don't care what the vehicle collision damage is - just to stop you repeat posting, I looked up the rule. On page 174 it says the damage is a percentage.

If what you are asking is "I've read this and it doesn;t make sense" then tell us what confuses you otherwise you get replies like this which are patronising and speak down to you.

If you really couldn;t find it, then, before you ask for the third time, I would suggest looking. It took me just over 12 seconds.

i guess my question about acceleration is more towards, did the designers want it to come into play in combat or is it just for kicks.

as for the damage one, i saw it, guess i meant to ask was: the sentence on page 174 states "The damage is adjusted SI damage is expressed in the percentage of the total original SI value of the vessel that is lost in damage." Is this supposed to be read like this or is there a typo?

Thanks and sorry to be a nuasance (but mamma always taught me... )
