I seem to vaguely recall that someone actually DID a monte carlo run of some kind waaaay back when and even published the results somewhere. I know it wasn't the Space Gamer, because I have the complete set, and I'm not seeing it there, but
somewhere... As I recall, it had multiple iterations of different weapons systems and ST/DX combos in it. Dammit, I really want to see those numbers. I think something like that would be a GREAT tool for Steve Jackson when he's seriously starting to look at the game for re-write/re-pub.
I'm betting though, at the end of the day, that it would show that there mostly aren't many changes needed! ;-) Steve always seemed to have a good feel for the way the numbers would crunch, even including the outliers...
