Title: Shield Levels Post by: Zero3dx on April 29, 2007, 11:36:17 PM im kinda new to this game but i think im improving and growing well.
one thing i keep having trouble with is shields. About how much shield percentage should i have for a 380 mil credit ship? its got 171266002 hull n 102699773 atk with currently 51% shield is that about good? or should it be higher because at the moment, only about 1.5 % of the total energy is being used for comps/shields and im thinking that thats not very optimized anyone can give me som advice? or pointers? watever? also, can anyone tell me exactly wat the formula is for the shields? i tried using the formula thats given in the other post but it doesnt seem to work too well for me. Is it just me? or is it wrong? thanks Title: Re: Shield Levels Post by: thezerg on April 30, 2007, 12:10:54 AM I believe that the formula given is correct. If you understand some math, you should be able to set all the stats and what not into a big formula or even just guess and check it.
1 hp=+10 cr 1en= -3cr Useing this, you should be able to see If your current energy spent on shields is helping your overall hp or would it be better to spend it on a bigger special or vice versa Title: Re: Shield Levels Post by: Zero3dx on April 30, 2007, 01:03:09 AM lol can u give me an example or two

are shield and acc percentages always whole number percentages? like how it is shown for ship data i noticed that to show ship data, it always rounds to the... nearest whole number?? and i was wondering if u can jus get the math added up so that it rounds up to the next whole number percent, like xx.53 % => xx+1 % Title: Re: Shield Levels Post by: thezerg on May 06, 2007, 11:26:13 AM Yes, It's to the next whole number (i believe)
Title: Re: Shield Levels Post by: Chronos on May 06, 2007, 06:03:30 PM Grammar and punctuation would be nice, but I think I get the gist of it.
From what I've seen, I believe the percentages are simply rounded. (e.g. %%.2 => %%, %%.5 => %%+1) The math would work out to a simple (floor(x+0.5)%). Title: Re: Shield Levels Post by: Zero3dx on May 07, 2007, 05:15:52 AM thanks everyone =D
<edit> it doesnt seem to work right for comps =( does it make a difference if u have a weapon installed or not? in one of my tries, according to the calculations, the acc from the comps should be 30.5 exactly but, when i install it, it only comes out to be 29 i tried it more than once and i get similar results... can anyone help me with this??? :2: Title: Re: Shield Levels Post by: FTP on May 07, 2007, 06:21:20 PM I worked out all the formula's in the past but I lost them, but believe me they were hard.
