According to the abilities.txt:
Sector - Damage
Value1 = Amount of damage per turn to all objects in sector.
Value2 =

However, when I look at the standard and modded Versions of StellarAbilityTypes.txt:
Value2 = 0 or Value2 = 1

For Sector - Damage:
What is the description for Value2?
What are the possible settings for Value2?

I don't think the val2 does anything. Test out the abilities to see what the difference is. Maybe 0 means always damaged, and 1 means sometimes damaged? Or, it makes no difference, or does something else. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Hmmm, Warp Point - Turbulence has the same issue (or non-issue). I do know from testing that leaving Val2 blank will create inconsistent, and completely unreproducible, results. Off to the test lab I go…

Never leave a setting (except those that are just text strings, like Descriptions) blank. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
