I think that's the main thing that's happening. People (myself included) aren't used to needing to pop hull resists with full shields up unless they see transphasics coming at them. There has definitely been a massive increase inthe number of hull eater builds since LoR, in no small part due to every ship getting a free DEM from Nukara. Since I made that post I've gone into matches expecting hull eaters and have been doing a better job of keeping my hull resists up along with my shields, and have been doing much better.
Aux to Dampners, Hazzard Emitters, Brace for Impact and the Subspace field Modulator will all help mitigate the damage. As well a well timed Target Weapons will drain hit weapons power. Without weapons power he passive and anything else will do no damage.
I have also noticed a couple of aux-to-bat cruisers doing more damage to hull than seemed at all possible, and was also suspecting the Nukara proc--though from the description it didn't sound bad enough to be the cause. Figured I'd poke around here and see what folks were saying about it.

Add in DEM with that A2b plus the Nuka passive and some skill, you have hulleater.
Not a hax or exploit, just a new type of build that uses the abilities that exist.
I can pretty much guarantee its nukara tier 2 2.5% bypass on a full antiproton setup with alpha strike... and the player did about so much shield bypassing critD that you died before you knew you were being hit.
The buff is insane. I like it >_>
The only question I have is is the ability a 2.5 percent chance for the whole hit to go through, or 2.5% of all damage total going through
If it is the first, oh my dear lord that would explain a lot for OP. If even one alpha strike volley off a fleet-grade AP spiker that crits gets through, youre gonna die in basically one shot.

All I know is that with this new nerf to the hull regen and leadership trait, dev's better put that back where it was, otherwise I don't think I will be continuing on with this game. This is getting ridiculus.
I don't know...I've seen some weird stuff now in PvE as well, and I know the NPCs don't have Nukara rep!
I had my hull drop 85% from a Breen transphasic, apparently. Is there maybe some debuff that lowers your hull resist to something ridiculous?

In PVE i have found myself with almost full shields and negligible hull. Maybe hull regeneration has been nerfed, but this is seriously over the top.
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.
