Thanks for your comments.

We are going to make the following changes to the Tier 5 Tactical Escort Retrofit:

It will gain one aft weapon slot, so it will have the following weapon configuration:

4 Fore
3 Aft


It will no longer have 2 Tactical Commander Slots. It will instead have the following BOff seating:

Cm_Tactical_Station
LC_Tactical_Station
En_Tactical_Station
Lt_Engineering_Station
Lt_Science_Station


So effectively, this ship sacrifices one Station Mod for Cloak. Also, since it gains one Ens Tactical BOff station instead of a Ens Science or Engineering BOff station, it becomes the most Tactical Escort (Arguably the highest DPS), but also becomes the most fragile.

We’ll get this up soon and see if we need to iterate on it any further.


Thanks again for your input.

Thanks for your comments.

First let me clarify something about damage resistance. If you notice, the “%” should be gone from all Damage Resistance tooltips. That’s because it was incorrect – it was never a percentage, it was always a magnitude. To calculate the Damage Resistance of any ability, you can use the following formula:

Damage Resistance = 1-(1/(1+(Dam_Res#/100)))

So for Ablative Generators, which have 300 Damage Resistance, the %Dam Res is:

Damage Resistance = 1-(1/(1+(300100)))
…or…
75% Damage Resistance

Note there is a Max Curve in the game for all entities so Damage Resistance peaks at 75%. However, Ablative Generators are not subject to this Max Curve. This is the only ability in the game that does this. So it stacks directly on top of your current damage resistance – which you can get from Engineering Console Mods, Starship Battle Strategy Skill, and other sources. Note, no matter how much Damage Resistance you obtain, your Damage Resistance will never go above 100% (try adding an absurdly high number in the above formula to see how that works).

As for Ablative Generator. We will be making a few changes based on your feedback. The Recharge Time will be reduced to 5 minutes and we removed all Energy Drain. We will see how that works out and iterate from there.

One last thing. This ship will no longer have 2 commander BOff slots, and instead have the following configuration:

Lt_Tactical_Station
Lt_Engineering_Station
Cm_Science_Station
LC_Science_Station
En_Science_Station
