Of consoles and stacking

rifter1969

Hi all.

OK, I got a couple of questions...

1. The Vulnerability Locator consoles from the Fleet Spire... does their crit chance stack on multiples?

2. Is there a formula for stacking consoles?
Example: You have 2 MkX Phaser relay consoles, that give 13.8% bonus to phaser dmg.

How do the two or more of them work together? Do you get the full bonus from one and then a fraction of the next, and so on?



Thanks in advance!

Yes it does.

Each console adds to base damage. So the first you'd equip at 13.8% would actually add that damage. The next console would add the same amount of damage. However, because your total damage has increased from the first console, you have added a smaller percentage than the console says.

100 damage weapon and three +13.8% consoles:

100 base dmg x 13.8% = + 13.8 damage
100 + 13.8= 113.8 (13.8%), 113.8 + 13.8= 127.6 (11.9%), 127.6 + 13.8= 141.4 (9.8%)

This is just a crude explanation. Someone like Virusdancer can come along and give you all the maths.

Thanks for the answers....

That is exactly what I was looking for and helps explain what is going on!
