So I'm playing in a GURPS Space/Spaceships-focused game, and all of us involved are fairly new to GURPS. Am I reading the damage values of spaceship weapons correctly? A sm +9 ship's spinal weapon, at a 24 cm caliber, does 6d x 60 damage, with a minimum x 10 multiplier due to velocity if it's a grav weapon. So with an expected value of 21 off 6d6, we're talking 12600 average decade damage per hit - and a sm +9 ship has like 100 decade hp. Is this accurate? Am I tripping?
