Title: Shields Post by: Jeffesmi on January 01, 2010, 01:02:26 AM Hello again,
I read through the post on building ships and it was helpful. One thing I'm not clear on is the shields. Is the ABS value of the shield, a percentage of incoming attack absorbed, percentage of total ?hitpoints? that are absorbed before the shields collapse, or something else? The reason I ask is that from the charts, it look like using 2 * 22ABS shields is MUCH LESS EXPENSIVE than 1 * 44ABS shields... actually well over 3,000,000 to 1. I guess my question is how are multiple shields calculated? Thanks, Jeff Title: Re: Shields Post by: Jan`go Vhett on January 01, 2010, 01:29:09 AM Not many people have figured out how shields stack and fewer have been willing to share.
I have one the works for 4 different abs. percentages: Abs Calculator (http://instacalc.com/?d=&c=cm91bmQocjIrKCgocjIqKHIzLTEpKSsocjQqcjUpKyhyNipyNykrKHI4KnI5KSkvKHIzK3I1K3I3K3I5KSkpLy9Ub3RhbCBBY3VcQWJzIFZhbHVlfDAvL0FjdSBvciBBYnMgVmFsdWUgMXwwLy9OdW1iZXIgb2YgVmFsdWUgMXwwLy9BY3Ugb3IgQWJzIFZhbHVlIDJ8MC8vTnVtYmVyIG9mIFZhbHVlIDJ8MC8vQWN1IG9yIEFicyBWYWx1ZSAzfDAvL051bWJlciBvZiBWYWx1ZSAzfDAvL0FjdSBvciBBYnMgVmFsdWUgNHwwLy9OdW1iZXIgb2YgVmFsdWUgNA&s=hssssssss&v=0.9) I think you also were asking about how shields apply? If so then it absorbs incoming damage. Say you have 80% shields (this is the maximum abs btw) and someone attacks you with a ship with 100 attack. They would only do 20 damage as 80% of it was absorbed.
