First of all, I assume ROF 100/round, meaning 100 missiles per round hit.
And that is assuming that I have 200 ships loaded up to the brim with heavy
weapons. There are going to be at least 100 hits per minute.
As per the critical hits, I think we need a new critical hit table for
fighting the Spelljammer.  Can anybody compose one?
