Couple of questions |
Hey guys, I had a couple questions for the resident gurus, please.
1) Do Shield Regenerators regenerate phased shields if thats the type of shields your using? I only ask because there apparently is no "phased shield regenerator" or atleast I haven't seen one yet.
2) Do armor effects stack? Like for emissive armor, does the damage reduction stack so if you used say 5x emissive armors would the effect be 5x?
Re: Couple of questions
Thanks! Bummer about the armor but that regenerator doing phased shields too is a definite bonus.
Another thing though, say you have the Crystalline trait and are using the Crystalline Armor which transforms a certain percentage of damage to shields for you. Is that normal shields or phased shields and would it make any difference to what it produces if you were using phased shields on your ship already?
Re: Couple of questions
Actually, there are some armors that stack their effects:
* Crystalline armor's shield regeneration from damage stacks.
* Organic armor's HP regeneration stacks.
Hopefully the crystalline armor produces the best shields you have, but I'm not sure... IIRC it did so in SE4...

Re: Couple of questions
CA effect just increases the current shields value; it doesn't affect the type.
Re: Couple of questions
I think that EA work this way: If you have enough damage (in one hit) to destroy one part of Emissive Armor (including damage reduction) then it will hit another and if its EA too, then its damage reduction will ocure too. For any following hit destroyed EA is realy destroyed (in some version it continued providing damage reduction).
Re: Couple of questions
Thanks for your insights guys, I appreciate it. I have another question though, heh. Temporal Shifters ...what exactly do they do? It says it will attempt to put them to the beginning of time or somesuch. Skips armor/shields ...but what exactly does it do? Just non-specific damage or does it actually move their ship? I'm thinking a damaging repulsor beam.
Re: Couple of questions
It's just a fancy description for 'skips shields and armor'. Otherwise, nothing special.

Re: Couple of questions
Welcome.
1: Shield Regenerators do regenerate all shield points yes.
2: Armour effects do not stack no. If an emissive armour panel reduces damage by 10 points and you have a dozen, the total effect will only be 10. I personally do use more than 1 though in case any get damaged.
