shield breach attack

[peppi]

can someone tell me what weapon with what engineering+special effect causes this

 

[Northpin]

phasing?

 

[Vardaugas]

Pulse or burst lasers with phasing sequence. Plasma accelerators, too.

 

[Kzak]

Phasing, yes. Also, Thargoid weaponry has a phasing effect, allowing some of the damage to pass through your shields to your hull.

 

[GreyAreaUK]

Burst lasers have effect that hits the hull directly (in part). Can’t remember the name, though. Northpin might have it with Phasing.

 

[peppi]

isnt that the one with the jitter on it ?

 

[Northpin]

No, that one does not go through shields. AFAIK only Phasing goes through

 

[peppi]

i have 2 burst lasers on me can i put this experimental on both ?

Yes. In fact, phasing effect is not very strong and only becomes useful when applied to multiple weapons.

phasing damage is absolute as well, so hull resists don't count against it. iirc there was a guy out on distant ganks that built a ship literally called the "hull tester" that was taking people out that had given themselves big shields but no hull reinforcement to save weight.

Absolute, I did not know that!
Thank you.

I wonder if that's any good on Cytoscramblers.

 

[Screemonster]

Having literally just unlocked cytoscramblers last week and done exactly that, a quick test in the nav beacon confirms that it's pretty neat. Certainly not bad for a small hardpoint.

Check this out for the effects of Phasing on lasers.

 

[Schmack]

The Covas freaks out a bit at menial things like thermal attacks and heat increase with little to no actual damage occurring. She needs a Valium.

You remember correct.
That was a Plasma Accelerator Krait. And it was the single most dangerous ship to all those sufficiently shielded Explorers which skipped on hull, including me

Edit: yes, they work on cytos and they work very well.

 

[Screemonster]

Yeah, and running two of them on a DBS really doesn't tank my capacitor as much as corolis suggested they would. Might look into a memebuild on one of the alliance ships at some point. Just go full rapid-fire-phasing on every hardpoint with yellow weapons and do my best impression of the goid lightning attack.
