Morrigan Starlover	Posted - 2007.05.22 01:34:00 - [1] On ammo it'll say like explosion/kinetic/heat/EM damage and then it will say base shield damage and base armor damage. How does this effect the end result?

You claim you have a bug that undresses female avatars
William Hamilton Caldari THE LEGION OF STEEL WARRIORS.... R0ADKILL	Posted - 2007.05.22 03:06:00 - [3] It's precaclculated numbers for damage on base shield/armour resist. Doesn't actually mean anything in itself, just a thing so you don't have to crunch the numbers yourself.
Khel'tar	Posted - 2007.05.22 03:20:00 - [4] As above, helps to work out what hardners your target it using. -- Achura, the best stats. Pity it had to be caldari. Gallente 4tw.
Kalie Erry State War Academy	Posted - 2007.05.22 05:25:00 - [5] Edited by: Kalie Erry on 22/05/2007 05:25:31 The precalculated armor damage is based on the highest damage vs. "type" of armor. I actually noticed this yesterday calculating things ingame, and seeing how one type of ammo hits Caldari armor for more than Amarr, Gallente, or Minmatar armor, and that number is used on the info window. Examples EMP S: 5 EM damage, 4 Explosive damage, 2 Kinetic damage: 7.1 base armor damage vs. Amarr(60% EM/20% Exp/25% Kin/35% Therm): 6.7 damage vs. Caldari(60% EM/10% Exp/25% Kin/45% Therm): 7.1 damage vs. Gallente(60% EM/10% Exp/35% Kin/35% Therm): 6.9 damage vs. Minmatar(70% EM/10% Exp/25% Kin/35% Therm): 6.6 damage Iridium Charge S: 4 Kinetic damage, 3 Thermal damage: 4.95 base armor damage vs. Amarr(60% EM/20% Exp/25% Kin/35% Therm): 4.95 damage vs. Caldari(60% EM/10% Exp/25% Kin/45% Therm): 4.65 damage vs. Gallente(60% EM/10% Exp/35% Kin/35% Therm): 4.55 damage vs. Minmatar(70% EM/10% Exp/25% Kin/35% Therm): 4.95 damage

Kalie Erry State War Academy	Posted - 2007.05.22 05:41:00 - [7] No, it's precalculated as the "best possible circumstances."

D Mackiller Minmatar Aurora Empire Fuzzy Nut Attack Squirrels	Posted - 2007.05.22 05:55:00 - [9] Its pretty much just the amount of damage that ammo does against base shield/armor resists. It really isn't very useful since most people have resist hardeners.

For the first time in 2 and a bit years of playing, those figures now mean something. They're totally useless, but at least I now understand the theory behind them! ------------------------------------- Hold my calls and sack my cook -------------------------------------

For the first time in 2 and a bit years of playing, those figures now mean something. They're totally useless, but at least I now understand the theory behind them! Due to how common omni tanks (all inv fields or all EANS + DC) are these days they are not total useless, but yeah their practical use is very limited. ---------------------------------------- A Guide to Scan Probing in Revelations
