Frigate Ranged Damage

[fish_sticks]

The tooltip says damage is capped at 25. When I attack it seems to damage units of 10 and 12 strength down to 9.8 and 11.8 respectfully. At that point I am unable to perform a ranged attack, probably because there are no valid targets.

I suspect this is a bug in the calculation. Maybe multiplying by .0025 instead of .25 when determining the maximum?

Otherwise, it seems like it is not worth building frigates for ranged damage against land units.

The cap just means that if the unit has a base strength of 10 you cannot bombard it lower than 7.5. So if it it's current strength is 7.6 your damage would be capped at 7.5 rather than 7.4
I do agree that 0.2 damage on a single attack sounds a bit low. Maybe frigates need a promotion that increases their ranged attack.
