Hit Points

from GalCiv2 Forums
Playing DA, latest version (g), and noticed that some of my ships have different hit point stats than others. Usually when I get damaged, the actual hp is read on the left, while max is on the right (ie., 2/5 for 2 of 5). Some of my ships have higher numbers on the left, though, like 31/24.

Am I reading things wrong, or this a bug?

Hi!
I've read an explanation to this: when ship "heals", HPs are added to existing ones, but are not checked against max HP. If you have big repair bonus, a ship that has only 2 HPs missing, may get from repair 10 new HP points instead. However that explanation could be wrong, because it was not from developers.

BR, Iztok

I've often wondered about that too but never thought to ask. I'll send ships to a planet to heal and they pop back out with something like 41/34.

That's as good an explaination as I've heard Iztok, Thanks.

This is correct. Especially when a ship is in orbit around a planet, it can end up with more HP than it's max. I take advantage of this on a regular basis. ;)
