I've been thinking, if I used a EM armour hardener and a damage control unit wudnt I get the penalty for using a simular module??? I've been told to use both armour hardeners and damage control units to beef up my resistance but i cant use both right?
Once a noob always a noob.lol. |

Damage control isn't stacking-penalized with shield/armour hardeners. You can use only one, though.

Damage control is not stacking. Which means you will get its full effect, no matter what other modules you have on your ship.
You can use multiple resist mods, but with each one added, they don't work as well.
I believe it is something like, the first works 100%, second 80%, third 50% and below that they are not worth using. Damage control does not suffer from this.

that doesn't make sense. I think it is stacking penalized.. And if its not, then when its activated since the DMG control isn't penalized the other modules get penalized. so youll get the bonus from the dmg control but then that bonus deminshese the effect of the EM hardener so it doesn't matter....
please someone correct me if im wrong. I just dont remember geting a 92% resist on my harpy for the thermal when running a dmg control 2. I remember 84. And the base is already 80. go figure.

The numbers for the stacking penalty are 100/87/57/28.

there is no stacking nerf did you check it against the base resist or the resist AFTER the first hardener
if it was all done off base resist you could get close to impossible to break a tank with 2 EANM II's and a DC

Actually - when you've got 80% resist, adding, say, 10% won't make it 90%. It's not stacking penalty, it's just the way resists are calculated.
Adding 10% on 80% will get it up to 82%, if I'm not wrong - it's current_res+(stacking penalty, which is 0 for DCU)*(1-0.8)*0.1 in the case above, yielding 0.82, or 82% res [10% less damage taken then 80% res]. Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm at work, so no EvE installed to test it out.

typoe?
think you mean that the stacking penalty should be the multiplier and thus beein 1 and not 0

erm ok i think i get it
let me explain...
have the formula in mind:
Quote: (1-[current res])*[module resist bonus]*[stacking multiplier]+[current resist]
{1, 0.87 ,0.57, 0.28}e[stacking multiplier]
the first part is what is left until you get 100%. if you have 80% 1-[current res] = 0.2 (= 20%)
that is how big part of the resist the module actually affect. if we take an example of a initial resist of 0% and a module that gives 50%. if the module wouldn't be stacking nerfed, the first module added would increase the resist to 50%, the second would only affect the remaining 50%, thus increasing res to 75% and the third would add 0.25*0.50=0.125. and so on.
the difference between a 80% res and a 90% is not 10%, it is a 50% decrease in recieved dps. and to keep the resists within reasonable levels and not to make EANM's and invuls too powerful, resists is tacking nerfed.
the DC is not stacking nerfed, and do not affect wich stacking multiplier the other modules get. if you fit 2*EANM + 1*DC the first eanm will have the multiplier 1, the second will have the multiplier 0.87 and the DC will have the 1, if you add another EANM it will get the 0.57.
the last part is just a list of the multipliers and to show that they belong to [stacking multiplier]. just ignore it if you dont understand it, it is really not that interresting
