hey guys

so from what i understand the new bonuses for archeology and hacking should give extra hp for your virus per level and the covops skill should give 10 atack on your virus per level.. from what i can tell there is no diference betwen the levels..

is this a bug or did i misunderstand these?

I believe the bonus for CovOps ships is working as intended. If you look at the T1 exploration ships (eg a Probe), the bonus is listed as a Role Bonus (a flat bonus, not per level of anything). The same is probably true for the CovOps ships, and they just screwed up the descriptions.

As for Archaeology and Hacking... are you sure they're not working per level?

ok so il give u my exact stats its 30 virus strength and 70 coherence with both hacking and archeology (lvl3 on both) and with a covops level of 4 which i think was the same in my ishtar with no bonuses...il be able to confirm in 1h when hacking 4 finishes since im not absolutely sure

It's not a per-level bonus. It's a flat bonus. Yes, it's working as intended and, yes, this should be obvious, as +50 strength would quite clearly trivialize the entire game.

yeah ok i have 80 now on hacking so i guess it does work per level on those skills i wasnt sure..but yes they did list the strength bonus one with the per level skills in the covops show info so they should fix that

+10 Virus Strength to Relic and Data Analyzers

Since it doesn't say per level, not sure they have to fix it to not say per level.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

Non-scaling bonuses are pretty much always prefixed with the label "Role Bonus", so yeah it should be fixed for consistency.

No, you have 80 cohesion - not 80 strength. Different stat.

Cohesion is HP, strength is how much damage it does. The covops bonus is, most assuredly, NOT per level.

The CovOps bonus is a role bonus, +10 virus strength. This has been corrected recently in the ship info, but was always working as intended.

The skill bonus is +10 virus coherence (hit points) per level.

Getting level 5 in either hacking skill will allow you to use the tech 2 analyzer, which gives an additional +10 virus strength and +20 virus coherence.

I'd pretty highly suggest level 5 if you're working in low or null. In highsec you don't need it.
