Anyone else think their protection modules don't work?

Recommended Posts

I've been thinking for a while now that it would be good to see how much damage your opponent is doing to you. I know I could get someone to shoot at me and tell me what they are doing but it's not that easy really.

The reason is that for a while now I have been doubting that some of my modules work.

I have 40 odd% against Rico but Rico still kills my light hull with 3-4 shots with module and DA.

50% railgun and it hardly does a scratch, DA and I can be hit forever.

Anyone else experience this?

This is possible if the enemy has either Booster drone, or you had the AP effect at the time you were being shot, which makes it so that the enemy ignores all your protections.

Any logic in this game is long gone. Of course devs can explain that the damage you get is such and such because of drones, overdrives, alts and blah, blah, blah... But how is this helping 'normal' people? In the past when everything was clear and predictable you could think of tactics and strategies. Now you may just roll a dice if you will get killed in the next second or not no matter what modules you have.

YES. Gauss and LCR Railgun still do insane damage, to the point where I get two-shotted with Hunter and Dictator and even get one-shotted if I use Hornet.

It may check out numbers-wise, but it still feels very wrong because I almost always have Double Armor running, and 42% protection against both Railgun and Gauss.

I always find it weird when Incendiary Band Vulcans melt me at melee range despite my Dictator having 3k HP with DA and 40% Vulcan protection and Heat Resistance. 

Afterburn is simply brutal in its current state. I also have Heat Resistance and find myself wishing for Heat Immunity all the time. In my opinion only Firebird should have the ability to deal the full 300 hp/s. Other turrets should deal perhaps half of that.

Makes me think of that when my full 50% Eagle Mk8 Hornet still gets OHKO'ed by other Shafts.

It's the same with having a fully microupgraded hull...

Drones are more powerful than any standard upgrades to equipment.
