Meta alloy hull reinforcement only 3% caustic damage?

Bob McBobblehead · Mar 16, 2018

I just unlocked these, if i'd known these were the stats I would not of bothered.

DoodlyStudmuffin · Mar 16, 2018

Ha ha. Same for me. So underwhelming and not worth the mats to unlock. They are a sick joke.

Wait, what? Any chance of a screenie? I just worry you are dyslexic and it actually says 30% rather than 03%...
Not calling you a liar, just my mind is recoiling from the overwhelming level of dumb this implies....

Lol, whoops. Ah well what kind of Frontier update would it be without hundreds of bugs.

Anyone remember what it was in beta (the caustic resist value)?

It's true. 3% per. I have a bunch on my ship and they add up to 8.7% for the whole ship.

Standard Hull Reinforcement provides from 0.5% to a max of 2.5% resist to conventional weapons types.

But that can be increased with engineering. Meta alloy HR can't be engineered, can it?

Perhaps they're meant to be engineered in the future?

It's 20% higher than the highest standard hull.

Can I ask how much you'd expect it to be?

That would be nice.

Sure, but what the hell is the point of 3% on the only thing (I think) that can have it? Thats like dying of thirst and some passerby takes pity and flicks a wet booger in your eye...

Yeah you are wrong DoodlyStudmuffin, what you are expecting? a usefull module? /sarcasm.

Far away from usefull stuff, the only thing that comes in my mind i'ts in a certain point those broker stuff will be enginerrable, until that day all those stuff will be useless;

Not falling for that trap.

Right. 3/2.5 is 1.2 or 20% increase. But it's still just a 0.5% increase overall. nice try though.

Trap?

I mean if you're expecting 30% what would you expect stacking 3 of these to do?

Bearing in mind an Anaconda can equip 10+ hull reinforcements.

What you on about, comparing like for like for relative strengths is a perfectly fair comparison.

Seems that you forget about the integrity increase.

What is better: 60% more hitpoints and 50%+ another damage types resistence or 30% caustic resistence? (Stacking 10 MHRP)

Bob McBobblehead · Mar 16, 2018

I remember when FDev released 50% caustic resistant hull reinforcement modules in 2.4 for a short while by mistake. Stacking two got you 60%, stacking three got you around 62%.

CMDR Redcrest · Mar 16, 2018

Stack three of them and the ship details panel will tell you that your ship has a caustic resistance of 8.7%.
When I went to school 3x3=9...

Probably you should be comparing to the max it can be after engineering since meta alloy hull reinforcements cannot be engineered. Probably that is what he is "on about".

Diminishing returns, the higher your resistance, the less you get from each module.
