The tinfoil is strong in this one.
For me, I often shoot NPCs with phasing, though I did not know that the beacons do not.No weapon can directly damage modules through any amount of shielding except for flechettes, which NPCs do not have; or, in the case of the canopy, phasing sequence, which only occurs at low hull integrity (sub 50%, IIRC) and phasing is only on wing assassination targets, Spec Ops, and other threat 6+ signals, not compromised NAV beacons.
All the damage you've been seeing to your hull/modules is a result of you overheating your own ship. Deep plating has nothing to do with it.
Yeah, I was referring to overheating damage of course. The assumption that heat damage is in any way influenced by your resistances appeared very unlikely to me.Not if we talk about heat damage because of overheating
Yes, if the damage taken was coming from thermal weapons (lasers, incendiary mc/frags, rails, and to a lesser extent plasma)
I mean, what's really to understand? It's just a tank. It's not meant for anything but killing a lot of ships and yes, not dying. Do I want to die? No. I had it to the point where I would not even take damage after an hour or so of killing ships at a compromised navigation beacon. It's not meant to be some Ultra Serious PvP build or anything like that... just a tank. And I had just a tank. Then, I added some DP to some Hull packages and lost the ability to not sustain module damage. Even the shield strength somehow decreased as I was not losing more than a ring, maybe two, of shields but now I do. That's all Captain Elite!I dont understand this build....
It is for CZ's really ? is that a joke ? Are you so affraid of dying ?

Deep plating does nothing to your module protection, at all. It just gives you more hull points at the expense of a small bit of hull resistance, hull, not modules. All that determines if and how much your modules take damage is the piercing value of the weapons fired at you, the hardness of your hull and module reinforcements. Weapon piercing can be altered by engineering, hull hardness is fixed and unchangeable. The only other thing able to damage your modules is the ship overheating. You're on the wrong track, your sample size is way to low to get even close to a valid statistical conclusion, hence tinfoil.I mean, what's really to understand? It's just a tank.

Yeah. I was just playing around with mine, see just how tanky I could get it, and how much damage it could take. I am either going to buy another one and make it a more reasonable as far as handling and jump range, or just mess around with this one. I'd like to build one that could actually do PvP. I think if I got yanked by a player in this one, it could probably hold out, depending on what it got yanked by, but sure, there's stuff I could and will do this this ship to get better jumps, add some SCB and Sinks, maybe some point defense and other defensive stuff. Plus, I am not any kind of PvP player, I know nothing about building ships with SCB, nor would I even know how to really use them effectively. I don't get into PvP fights. I've tried flying this ship around Deciat and egging people on to GET into a PvP and got no takers. I thought for sure there'd be at least one "ganker" that would love to destroy me, but nope... spent hours in SD and Deciat and nothing, not one person attacked me. I don't give a Rat's about getting killed, just wanted the experience. I did learn that ships labeled "Enemy" are free to attack, I didn't know that. So maybe I will instigate a fight Can you post your Vette build, would love to see it, or anyone else's Vette. I'd like to see what people do with them, PvE or even more PvP builds.You won't ever need all of that Shields/Hull for PvE c'mon My "light Corvette" has a bit less than 3000 shields more or less same Hull,boosts at 430 and can jump 35 light years,it wrecks everything easily as well and I bet has way more handling than this one.Plus it can travel...
If you really want to have a go at PvP,leave the Vette for something else,you'll thank me later.Real PvPers don't waste their time in Deciat believe me,those you find there ganking the poor souls going to Farseer are at best low level rabbits,they won't engage a Corvette but easier unarmed people,that's the reason.In Shinrarta I've been interdicted three times by similar "so called aces" in Corvettes,my Viper MK IV sent them to rebuy screen very quick.You want to taste PvP? Buy and fit an FDL,Plasmas and a lot of Engineering and see what comes out of it.Yeah. I was just playing around with mine, see just how tanky I could get it, and how much damage it could take.

They don't, where from this Fantasy tale has come out?If somebody could convince me that HRPs are affecting shield performance now then I'd have to question everything i thought i knew about the game.

Just so we're clear, I never insinuated that adding the DP had any direct affect to my shields. I think my shields are going down faster now because my shield generator module is now taking damage, would be more an accurate statement, or reason.They don't, where from this Fantasy tale has come out?
I am going to go with that and keep an eye on it. I am pretty sure I didn't overheat, hardly use the Packs, but I see your point. It could be that I have been overheating and not noticing. I don't know, but I will certainly keep a close watch on it, for sure! Thanks!I'm sure you could take a lunch break in a high CZ with this thing without going to the rebuy screen, but on another hand your packhound will be empty long before you lose a shield ring. Strange build indeed, my vette can clear CZ and solo wing mission with a third of those shield and two HRP, so I took some other usefull stuff instead. I love to do some weird builds too so I can get that i guess.
But I'm agreeing with the others, you took module damages from overheat that's for sure.
