This can actually work. |

This can actually work. I like it too, but the scanning profiles are too close together atm. Scouts are 45 Assault 50 Logi 50(?) Heavy 65 I personally think scouts should be around 35
I agree. |

The base profile could need a little adjustment at least. Maybe about 40 dB instead of 45 dB. |

That's not unreasonable. It would mean a Scout with max passive dampening skills (Light Suit V, Profile Dampening V) would have a scan profile of 27dB.
Then we're in agreement then. Just remember that the smaller the number, the less effective each progressive level of the skill book is. |

2% + 2% + 2% + 2% + 2% reduction
It's a flat 10%.
So Light Suits V would give 25% reduction.
Profile dampening would give 10% reduction.
You're feelings don't betray you at all. You are absolutely correct about how the bonuses are applied per level. The math used for applying bonuses in Dust is the exact same math use in Eve Online.
If the profile dampening skill book says you get a 2% reduction of profile per level and you have trained up to level 4, then you get an 8% reduction on your base profile. This is the only instant in which the percentages are added rather than multiplied.
Stacking modules, however, are different. Unlike stacking levels of the same skill book, the bonuses for stacked modules are based on the product rather than the sum of the stack.
Let's say a module gives you a 5% bonus and the base is 100. You new number is 105 if you put on that module. If you stack a second module of the same type, then the bonus of that second module multiplies the new base of 105 thus giving you 110.25. |
