In reply to chupabob (msg # 14):
Oddly - not necessarily. There is an equation for example when playing Eve Online:
quote:
Example: base hull has 0% EM shield resist, and you add EM Ward Field (+55% EM resist) modules:
Module 0: 0%
Module 1: (100% - 0%) * 55% * 1.000000000000 = +55% [Total EM Resist = 55%]
Module 2: (100% - 55%) * 55% * 0.869119980800 = +21.51% [Total EM Resist = 76.51%]
Module 3: (100% - 76.51%) * 55% * 0.570583143511= +7.37% [Total EM Resist = 83.88%]
Module 4: (100% - 83.88%) * 55% * 0.282955154023 = +2.51% [Total EM Resist = 86.39%]
Module 5: (100% - 86.39%) * 55% * 0.105992649743 = +0.79% [Total EM Resist = 87.18%]
Is an oft-quoted process (for determining how tough your ships are.)
You're not 'doing it wrong' if you repeat the steps: you're doing it 'iteratively' because you MUST repeat each step for each new instance of damage resistance. =)
