Changes: Experimental Effect

Revision as of 09:15, 22 April 2018

An Experimental Effect, formerly known as a Special Effect, is a bonus modification that can applied to a weapon or module that already has a Grade 1-5 Engineer modification. In exchange for small quantities of up to four different Materials, an Engineer will apply a chosen Experimental Effect that can further enhance the modification's potency or balance out its shortcomings. While most Experimental Effects can be applied to a wide variety of weapons and modules, some are exclusive to only one. Experimental Effects can only be applied at Engineer Workshops, not remotely.

Ship Status Indicators

WeaponSpeacialEffectIcon — Ship status indicators

When your ship, or the ship that you have currently targeted, takes certain types of damage (whether from a modified or standard weapon) the ship HUD will indicate this via the display of weapon effect icons shown below the relevant schematic for the affected ship.

Some Key Terms Explained (Work in progress)

Integrity (Hull), or Health (Shields) or - Total damage that can be dealt to the Hull / Shields.
Resistances - The multiplier for the damage inflicted, e.g a resistance of 50% will make 1 dps inflict 0.5 dps on the Hull / Shield, a resistance of -70% will make 1 dps inflict 1.7 dps on the Hull / Shield. Physical Collisions ignore resistances
