Anchored gives you a damage buff and a defense debuff every 5 seconds you are stationary.
Pedal To The Metal gives you a damage buff every 2 seconds you are at full throttle.
Now since Anchored procs when you are stationary (it doesn't say when your engines are idle), it seems I can get it to activate by sticking my nose on a stationary object while running at full throttle. At least the tooltip says that both Anchored and Pedal To The Metal are active.
Am I right that Anchored and Pedal To The Metal can stack this way? Is that intended or a bug (exploit)? I don't seem to see a lot of players doing this (maybe because beam boats like to broadside but this could work for torpedo and cannon boats).
If they work like that, it seems like a great way to boost damage against stationary objects like nanite transformers, cubes, gateways, etc. When you start getting hit, you can cancel out Anchored's defense debuff just by turning slightly and hitting evasive.
Seems it does work. My DPS has gone generally up since I've started flying like that. It looks funny though... My Intrepid looks like it's trying to fertilize those transformers and cubes.
Anchored stacks 4 or 5x every 5 sec, it also takes 20/25 sec to be gone.
So if your stationary 25 sec, then go full trottle 10 sec later you have still 2/3 anchored stacks and 5 Pedal To The Metal.
Your dps goes up cause you are 0km from target.
I'm a torp boat, so I am not hit by the usual energy weapon range penalty. So it shouldn't matter if I fly 0 kms vs my usual 2-3kms from target.
Does it remove stacks over time? I assumed as soon as you moved it was gone (based on the description). It stacks up to 4x (20secs) so it's 20% bonus plus Pedal To The Metal (was it 5%? I can't remember I am at work so I can't check in-game). It's easy to get that stack against a large immovable object.
