So members of my faction and I are discussing how we should set up our shields and hulls, and I want to make sure I'm understanding how resistances stack before I make any further calculations.
So say that I have reactive composite armor, and to counter the negative thermal effects I toss two thermal-resistant hull reinforcements. If the reactive armor has a thermal resistance of -200%, and the hull reinforcements each give me a +20% thermal resistance, will I now have a -160% thermal resistance? Or is there some degree of diminishing returns when stacking multiple damage resistances?
Also, does this apply to shields and shield boosters in the same way?
