Ships & Modules

The main reason to use it now is because it is not stacking penalized (needs confirmation) and on larger ships that wouldn't notice the capacitor use.

Nice info thx.

There's already a thread on this. @ the time I didn't have the chance to use the module. After using it in some silly engagements.


My conclusion is it does work in general solo pvp situations I find myself in. I'm generally outnumbered. So, I'm dealing with multiple incoming damage types.

This module does require alot more baby sitting.

Infact. Everytime a new target starts shooting @ my ship I must reset the thing (deactive and reactive). Once thats happened. I do see the benifits in 45 seconds - 1:30 minutes. Mind you. I generally engage fleets that are pretty uniform. You're almost always takening incoming damage from 3 damage types @ most. It's rare for me to engage hella mixed fleets. When I do. They're big (4 - 8 ships) and I'm in a battleship.

Anyway. I'm just responding to the op. Don't care how others interpret my input. I'll be using this module for sure.

Then they'll make a T2, Faction and COSMOS types of it and all the caps will spare a slot for one. But this is a dubious design meant to boost only armor caps.

If you want it work on subcaps then:

- Fully adapts upon start of a cycle according to the damage taken during the previous cycle or maintains the previous pattern if no damage taken.
- Allocates ressists according to the amount of each damage type recieved or has a threshold of X% in the taken damage pattern before which it will ignore it.
- Make it stacking penalized since it's an actual hardener now.

Say Projectile EMP deals around 75/0/8/17 of each damage type.

1a) After the cycle at which first instance of damage was recieved the pattern builds to 75/0/8/17 or 45/0/5/10 in actual numbers.

1b) If there's a threshold of say 20% then only EMP type is chosen and the pattern is 100/0/0/0 or 60/0/0/0.

Actually some C-type or B-type (not at home to confirm so take it easy with numbers) with full skills will give you a little less than 40%, however you get stacking penalties. This module could use of some tweaks to make it worthy in my humble opinion.

Some player above seems to engage targets that never neut or at least his fights seem to last long enough for this module to adapt, fair enough and I'm happy for him it works, in my case it doesn't.
Even thou my blaster mega is tough enough/hard hitting (moves almost fine too, not like a stand still duck) in those situations I've tested this module it was far too long for it to adapt, usually where I am you find fast hard hitting ships and not all of one kind so I'm taking at least 3dmg types+drones witch makes my extra EANP or specific hardener (explo) efficient immediately instead of 1min or + later when I get close to hull (even thou Megat hull tank like a king)

If they're about to implement some skill book to decrease this delay then it might be worthy for more situations rather than specific, otherwise CCP will have to start creating modules for each case witch would be dumb.
For the meanwhile EANP+hole hardener for me it's not an option.

I couldn't find this thread. Any chance someone smarter than me can link it? <3

There is a thread on the RAH from earlier where I typed out a long post on how it reportedly works. It's one of the first posts in the thread. I just can't type it again on this device because it's long.

Long story short: its not better than a second EANM, it's generally better than a 3rd EANM if it cycles once or twice. It is NOT stacking penalized with EANMs, but it IS stacking penalized against a damage control, strangely.

I would also use it in lieu of a hole plugging active mod, like for the explosive hole on Gallente ships. I would also use one where you have logi support, as that plays to its strengths.

I'll see if I can find the earlier thread. By the way - the summary above is based on the math of others - I am just repeating it. I read it in a detailed discussion on failheap challenge, if someone wants to look it up.

EDIT: and to answer Liang, I understand the skill actually makes it more cap hungry too, so it's a double edged sword. Edit 2: Looks like its too late. ;)

Yeah, training the skill to 5 is definitely a mistake... unless they change the skill sometime soon (here's hoping).

As it stands, the skill makes it cycle faster, but does nothing to reduce the Cap draw.

So it will adapt faster, while it burns huge chunks of Cap (compared to a specific hardener) faster too.
