Math for Criting Nodes?

EnderW

With the introduction of the new Episode 10, there are new nodes that will need to be crit'ed to get stars. I've seen in past posts the math for figuring out what score you'd need to crit a node, but I can't seem to find those threads now. I know it's some percentage of the base score for passing the node, but don't know it exactly. Can someone who knows the equation provide it?

As an aside: asking for the math equation to accomplish an away mission, how Star Trek is that!

I believe the rule of thumb still is to add 30% to the base score. I found this post in the Do Not Airlock thread:

Adjust Mission Values / Crit Multiplier
This setting controls the values against which mission requirements are checked.
This sheet checks whether characters can complete missions, not whether they can crit them. The exact crit requirements are unknown, but the most common estimate is ~30% above normal values.
Setting this multiplier to 1.3 recalculates all values to estimate crit values. The sheet should then give an indication of what crew can crit what missions.

I did a little eyeballing with screenshots and a ruler to try and help figure this out. First off, I fired up Into the Cave on Epic with immortal copies of Ru’afo and the Borg Queen to get me to the Diplomat node, where I sent Ambassador Shras to do his thing. With my starbase/collection bonuses, Shras has about 100 fewer base points than is required to clear the node.



I zoomed in on the next screenshot such that the 100 point deficit was 4 mm on the ruler I laid over the screen. I measured a total of 14 mm from the minimum clearing threshold to the critical threshold, which is an extra 350 points. 350/1134 = 30.86%.

Shras’ diplomat bonus plus proficiency roll of 104 (which I didn’t quite screenshot on time) weren’t enough to crit, however:





I bet it was close, though, so if we add a little extra padding and call it an extra 400ish instead of 350 that’s a safety factor of 1.35 to ensure success.
