Engineers Engineering results do not match outfitting

[Athrillskr]

I re-rolled two of my beam lasers to add the regeneration sequence. The engineering done was G5 efficient. Both showed over 13.5 dps after re-rolling but only 12.2 dps in outfitting after applying the effect. 12.2 dps is less than the stock beams! Regeneration sequence does not say it decreases damage.

Could someone explain or is this a bug?

Have a look at this link although I'm not sure how current it is but according to the table you lose 10% DPS with regen sequence.

That explains it. It would have been nice if that info was in the in-game description. Thanks!

I'm not sure but I think some/most/all mention reductions in DPS, integrity or increases in heat etc in the text but not actual values, check Inara for special effect descriptions when it's back from site maintenance.

Thank you for bringing that to my attention. +1 Rep for you (already repped the person who posted the table).

There is a bug related to this so be careful if you are going to be applying a better mod on an existing mod. I tried getting close to maxing out the dps on my pulse laser, and the engineer won't save the stats after applying it. In fact, the troll reset one of my pulse lasers back to default when I tried it again.
