Quick ? on multiple-shot ships

(1/5) > >>

jordot42:
If a unit shoots more than 1 round per salvo (all turrets, MLRS, the 133 shot core guard post, etc.) and let's say that only one ship is there to receive the hits, will that ship get hit with all of the rounds or just one of them?

Thanks.

rchaneberg:
It seems to me* like if there are not enough targets then the shots will be concentrated amongst the available targets.

*This is mostly based on fortress vs. starship matchups: it seems that as soon as the starship gets close enough for radar dampening not to matter, then the fortress fires a full salvo at the only thing available -that one unfortunate raid that got through the chokepoint.

jordot42:
Cool beans, thanks.

keith.lamothe:
Some units intentionally concentrate their secondary shots (relenting only when the in-the-air firepower passes the overkill threshold), some units intentionally divvy them up, but if there's only one target they just burn the full clip on them, so to speak.

Martyn van Buren:
But there are also some ship-types that do AOE with a maximum number of ships hit, right, like beam and lightning weapons?  Am I right to think that electric attacks do optimal damage against large numbers of ships but slightly more than ( max damage / max number hit ) against single ships?
