	Had this on a recent space battle report: Attacking IMP Trinity Theta (54099) ----------------------------------- Round 1: 7 Photon Cannon - 2 hits - 171 [180] damage - 38% 7 Photon Gun - 4 hits - 219 [240] damage - 51% Round 2: 7 Photon Cannon - 5 hits - 430 [450] damage - 38% 7 Photon Gun - 6 hits - 344 [360] damage - 51% Round 3: 7 Photon Cannon - 2 hits - 180 [180] damage - 38% 7 Photon Gun - 1 hit - 60 [60] damage - 38% Since all photon weapons have +6 acc, are mounted on the same ship and firing at the same immobile platform, how is it possible the Guns are more accurate than the Cannons? Other number of ships had similar although not identical figures. What happened?

	Roll the dice! You don't always get a 6, though you have a chance you'd hit it several times in a row, it's not bloody likely!!

	I wasn't complaining about that. I was wondering why the Photon Cannon are reported to have (only) a 38% hit chance while the Photon Guns *of the very same ship* are reported to have a 51% hit chance. Both weapon systems have a +6 acc modifier so there should not be a difference?

	Are the percentages are to do with the chance to hit? I didn't think so! Perhaps David/Mica could confirm what they are for? Given that the figure for the cannon is lower, it might be the % absorbed by armour or something like that? Dan

	It is all to do with probabilities based on primary and secondary hits. The method of generating accuracy report is a little spurious due to the integration of both parameters (they are actually fired as two separate attacks, primary and secondary only if primary target fails). We will change the printout so that it shows the highest potential accuracy as this will make more sense.
