Wow this has been on here for 2 years. Shows what our 12 dollars a month goes to. SDE fails.

An old suggestion. But if the odds really are 0.04% for a 12 in any 1 stat like stated in
previous posts then math needs to change.

This is how much probability you would have if the system just saves you the time rolling.
(math used: P=(1 - (P(not)^n)) if n is number of trials.)

10points = 00.04% to get a 12 (Checked once for each stat)
50points = 00.20% to get a 12 (Checked once for each stat)
100points = 00.40% to get a 12 (Checked once for each stat)
500points = 01.98% to get a 12 (Checked once for each stat)
1000points = 03.92% to get a 12 (Checked once for each stat)
5000points = 18.13% to get a 12 (Checked once for each stat)
10000points = 32.97% to get a 12 (Checked once for each stat)

Of course this would yeild alot better sailors when taking multiple stats into account
(like Super Seaman) since you basicaly roll each stat individually and just save the best
result. This is not something you can do when just spending 10pts 1000 times in a row. It
would also result in sailors getting 11 in most other stats when spending alot of points
if the system uses the same probability math Ive used.

good idea

really really really good idea....recc

This is probably the best idea I've seen so far, for game improvement, it's not asking
too much, and it virtually enliminates one of the headaches of this game.

wish i could recommend more than once a day...

It might've been a good idea, as long as there was a high 'limit' on the max bid you can
place, like raise your chances only to 5-10%, but it then would be way too easy and the
+12/+15 would become too common and the neut market would completelly die out. Therefore I
am not going to recommend it.
