This is the updated finalized "Hits Required" list:

CRV           14        4            2        100

Notice that the laser to torpedoe ratio is 20 to 1; and a kill with all
torpedoes starts in increments of 20 from the top down ( this explains the 0
Kill for a CRV ). The one case that does not match is the destruction of a 
STD tower which is 30 to 1. Later work shows that laser to missile ratio is
6 to 1, except for a STD tower which is 10 to 1. Ion cannons have a similar
pattern. (All is relative to recharge rates)
