The following tables contain the damage percentage a fascist ship will take when experiencing a Glory Device detonation, how many detonations it will survive, how many detonations can be repaired instantly if enough supplies are on board (limited by cargo hold), and how many supplies will be needed to repair one detonation (hit).
