It says 40% bleedthrough... Does that stack with the 10% bleedthrough most shields have already, or is that included with that taken into account?

    I have always assumed regular tops bleed 10% but Transphasics bleed 40% - thus they get a 30% bonus over regular torps.
    STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

    The actual calculation is : 10% bleedthrough + 40% X 0.90 = 46% of damage

    If it's a resilient shield : 5% bleedthrough + 40% X 0.90 = 41% of damage

    this matches up with what's on the Wiki as well.

    what this adds up to is Transphasic Torps being better for lazy captains like me who keep everything on Auto-fire.


    if you're considering using Trans Torps, i highly recommend THESE: http://sto.gamepedia.com/Rapid_Reload_Transphasic_Torpedo_Launcher

    I found on the whole quantum and Transphasic pretty much even out DPS wise against each other for lazy auto fire.

    really? got any math to back that up or is that just anecdotal?

    Shouldn't it be 5% bleedthrough + 40% x 0.95 = 43% of damage??

    This assumes you get 40% of what is left after the bleedthrough.

    I have no date for this, but it seems more logical to me. Does anyone know?
    What goes around comes around.
