[quote=TerlObar]<br /><br />And Sathar
"clips" have the equivalent of 16 SEU. The sathar use a base 8 (octal)
numbering system (since they have 8 digits) and the clip holds 2 eights
(written as 20 in their system) SEU. The basic rifles of the SWI era
can be set to either 1, 2 or 4 SEU giving four to sixteen shots per
clip. Typically, they are set to 2 SEU per shot for eight shots per
clip (Shoot for 4 rounds, reload for 1). They also have a power pack
that holds 64 SEU (8 eights or "100" in octal). It weighs 8 kg if you
using the standard powerpack weights or 3 kg if you use a lighter weight
system where the beltpack weighs 2 and the backpack 4. <br />[/quote]<br /><br />This post is buried in this thread:<br />http://starfrontiers.us/node/6118<br /><br />I like the idea of octal math for the worms- its alien and fits them.<br /><br />As I understand it Octal would be:<br /><br />1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 or 10, 11,12,13,14,15,16 or 20, and etc.<br /><br />I think I would prefer to use 8 instead of 10 and 16 instead of 20 to lesson confussion.
