So I was messing about with a build on Coriolis and some of the displayed values left me a bit confused. I'm pretty sure I'm unaware of some intricacy involved in calculating these, but here's the story.
The ship has Reactive Surface armor, and x5 Hull Reinforcement packages, all moded for heavy duty.
In the top line, I chose Reflective Plating for all modules, which gives a total of +18% Thermal Resistance, at the cost of -47% armor boost (measuring against default values), and the bottom line I chose Deep Plating for all modules. which gives +96.6% Armor boost at the cost of -13% overall resistance.
But looking at these numbers, I don't see the 31% difference in thermal resistance, and certainly don't see 143.6% difference in armor?
Diminishing returns ? As a result I don't exactly know which setup to choose
Now truth be said, I haven't used Coriolis much in the past, and I have very little experience with it, so can someone point out the error in my logic please.
Thank you
