Discrepancy in Punisher armor resistances
Posted: 2021.11.10 02:15
Hello fellow Unistas!
The normal armor resistances for Amarr ships are: EM 50%, Thermal 35%, Kinetic 25%, Explosive 20%.
The Punisher has 4% bonus to all armor resistances. The Fitting window shows: EM 56%, Thermal 43%, Kinetic 34%, Explosive 30%.
However, the math shows that the bonus for this outcome is actually 12%:
EM 1-(1-0.5)*(1-0.12) = 56%
Thermal 1-(0.35)*(1-0.12) = 42.8%
Kinetic 1-(1-0.25)*(1-0.12) = 34%
Explosive 1-(1-0.2)*(1-0.12) = 29.6%
Compare with the Maller, which also has 4% bonus to all armor resistances. The Fitting window shows: EM 52%, Thermal 38%, Kinetic 28%, Explosive 24%.
Here the math checks out:
EM 1-(1-0.5)*(1-0.04) = 52%
Thermal 1-(0.35)*(1-0.04) = 37.6%
Kinetic 1-(1-0.25)*(1-0.04) = 28%
Explosive 1-(1-0.2)*(1-0.04) = 23.2%
Is this a bug in the Fitting window or in the Punisher bonus description? If the Punisher has indeed a 12% armor resistance bonus that makes for the most effective defense among all T1 factional frigates.
Here is my Punisher fit:
[Punisher, Amarra Swiftblade's Punisher]
400mm Rolled Tungsten Compact Plates
Damage Control II
Small I-a Enduring Armor Repairer
Extruded Compact Heat Sink
Micro Auxiliary Power Core I
1MN Y-S8 Compact Afterburner
Fleeting Compact Stasis Webifier
Small Focused Modal Pulse Laser I
Small Focused Modal Pulse Laser I
Small Focused Modal Pulse Laser I
Small Focused Modal Pulse Laser I
Small Trimark Armor Pump I
Small Energy Collision Accelerator I
Small Energy Burst Aerator I
Multifrequency S x8
With full skills, this PVE Frigate has an effective defense of 6701 HP; that is higher than my Coercer Destroyer!
