Shields And Hull Points

posted on August 30th, 2005, 11:10 pm

If a ship has 100 shield and 100 hull points does that mean the hull will take the same amount of damage as the shields do or do shields take twice as much damage etc...?

Sorry if thats confusing, too tired 2 tell.

Peace & Luv, lates.

Well what about the recharge rate, I think shields can take a little more dam than the hull due to higher recharge rate

i think that depends on the race. eg. i think the borg's hull points repair quicker than the shields recharge. ^_^

That is true of course, all im saying is that if a ship has 100 hull and 100 shield points they will rarely be able to suffor the same amount of dam

Hmm.. I always noticed that ships tend to get destroyed rather quickly after shields fail.. even if the HPs of the 2 defense systems are the same....

i don't understand the hit points sytem really, its cos of what NCC1701Z just said, the ships get destroyed very quickly when shields fail

torpedo based weapons do more damage to hull then shields. I think.

Yep, cause units are able to do "critical hits" when shields are down which immidiately destroy it.
Eitherway we didn't like the beta2 Hitpointsystem, too. Thats why there will be a complete new system in v3 but that's enough spoiling now, the rest remains a secret

this is turning into cruel and unusual punishment. "Oh well there's THIS new feature in v3, oh well there's also THAT new feature in v3" ... stop it!
