Percentages stack, but not the way you think.. 50% + 50% does not = 100% 50% + 50% = 75% of X resists. _________________ Stargeneral Sheilds Forever! |

I personally think its not very good that any of them can stack together to increase the effect.
Either they should 1) Take the resistance of the highest damp/diff or 2) That only when 1 is equipped it should uninstall the others (maybe have some concession for the combined ones?) _________________ ~Ferret ------------------------------------------------------- Want to make your dreams come true? join Infinate Dreams!

No no no no, for slaves, all diffusers should be equipped in advance. And the effect should not stack, NOR SHOULD THE ELEC |

I have no idea how the stack, but the fact they do is stupid. There are just so many different types of diffusers and dampener's that it is SO easily abused, on player ships and bases alike. DR's first idea is good.

While were on the subject, GG should use the highest tch first, not lowest...

I think Atlum isn't talking about stacking diffusers to gain a bit more resist, but instead is talking about stacking them to the point of invincibility, to the point where things won't fire. For example, an andaman base won't even fire if you have enough types of laser diffuser equipped. I think he's highlighting that as the problem here, instead of simply using diffusers tactically.

Yea but stacking them to the point where the base/AI weapon will only do 5-10% of its total damage is still very broken imo.

But if the base is firing, you have a natural limit in the amount of space you have to carry diffusers, as they will blow up. 10 bases firing lasers at you should break diffusers quickly. _________________ This post was brought to you by: The original Junkie Your very own fire-breathing dragon! |

I heard the incredible figure of 37k dps on a BT (I havent tried to compute it so I dont know), how many diffusers would be blown before it is dead ?
