EVE General Discussion

Edit this bit out and the thread will go a lot better (ie. on topic).

As to your question, I have no clue (not unusual). I imagine that the order you click allocates them to a manager within the code that iterates through them in the same order, but I hope someone does answer with the facts and lets us both know.

If no one can provide an answer, then testing it in game would let you determine it.

Yeah, I don't know the answer, but logic would dictate they would not build an order of execution into the code as that would create a considerably higher amount of data to be processed and would be difficult to scale efficiently.

So the code presumably calculates all effects in a tick before calculating the damage from the weapons and then each hit ship deals separately with reducing effects (eg. resists)?

Makes sense and then the order of activating won't make any difference as long as it's all within the time to gain target lock.

There has to be some order, for example if you overuse your capacitor then not all of the modules can activate.

Can you prove that?

Same targets. Two different weapon groups. One group with only one damage type. The other group with 2 (or more) damage types.

Obviously this doesn't go to well for turrets (diff range for exm). But missiles ....

Someone is (1) seriously overthinking their missioning and (2) might not be really skilled enough to waste the NPC really really fast.

So you go for instapop I believe,

Then all fire at once and you are in the mercy of the server tick.

if you go with srcam/disrupt then it is better to get the modules in your high slot positions and assign key bindings 123456 etc to apply the damage the way you want.

e.g. first slot scram/disrutp you have it always pre activated
1. scram
2. painter
3. EM projectile
4. EXP projectile

in the med rank put your sensor scanners or move them to the low rack so you don't click them and turn them off.

It will activate them all.

You are gate camping. You want the target to be dead before it crashes the gate. Depending on what you are using and it's setup. My next question would be "Why are you using a target painter?" Use tracking computer(s) with tracking speed scripts. You should not need a target painter unless you are using large guns, a missile boat or you are planning on gate camping with a blapdread. Load ammo best suited to what is landing on the gate before it jumps into you. So, using Dscan with the scout/alt on the other side would help benefit this. If you are using a HIC, make sure it has sebos to catch 95% of the stuff that will come through. A webber is a nice thing to have as well. Next, run a logi or two so you can tank the gate guns and run a full gank fit.

PS: Mail me in game of the location you are camping if you are using a blap dread please.
