User blog:Thunder Luigi/"Taking a Supernova to the Ginoya" (part 2)

Purpose: To mathematically find out the meaning behind the "gamma shielding" statistics listed on the gamma shields' info pages.

Procedure:
 * 1) Save the game at a station not in the Ginoya system.
 * 2) Equip one or none of the gamma shields.
 * 3) Prepare any timing device as the ship warps to the planet being tested.
 * 4) Tap the screen (on the iPhone/iPod touch) and the stopwatch to begin timing, with the timing device a few milliseconds after tapping the screen.
 * 5) Stop timing when the ship explodes.

Table 1: Times
Times are off by about ±0.2 seconds. Please note that this is only after one complete trial; more are needed to ensure precision. So that means I have to sit through another 35 minutes of dying slowly in Tadram @_@

Interpretations and Conclusions

 * Example: Without a GS-I, your ship will only last 60% as much in Ginoya, and without a GS-II, your ship will only last 40% as much.
 * All of the base/shield time ratios come close to a number respective to their shields, 0.600 for the GS-I and 0.400 for the GS-II.
 * The ratios match the "gamma shielding" statistics, but to make a clear conclusion is challenging.
