Newcomer / Intro Feedback Cascade proc count with Imperial Hammers

[WreckRoot]

Quick one: how does Imperial Hammer apply Feedback Cascade?

• once per salvo, like with super penetrator?
• three times per salvo, on each hit?
• at 1/3 effectiveness per hit?
• ... some other way?

Thanks!

Experimental effects are usually applied per hit (e.g. a Burst Laser shooting salvos of three shots has a higher chance to apply Scramble Spectrum or to incur a power plant malfunction if the PP's integrity is below 80% than a Pulse Laser).
In the case of Feedback Cascade however, I believe this does not make much of a difference, as the effect is not a chance but damaging the charging Shield Cell Bank and shield energy restoration. The damage ist then just spread through the individual shots. This is in proportion to the actual Rail Gun damage, a 2B Rail Gun requires fewer hits to completely stop an SCB than a smaller 1D.

Feedback is directly tied to the dmg of the weapons. Hammers apply feedback with every shoot (so, 3 time for 1 Salvo) but each shoot will cancel a third of what would have been canceled by a normal rail shoot, and you need to hit with the 3 shoots to cancel what you would have canceled with 1 c2 rail shot. (+8% in reality, as a full hammer Salvo do 8% more damage than a c2 rail).
Super pen is also applied by shoot and not by Salvo btw
