Wait, I thought that the CR had the opposite profile of Scr. Wouldn't it be 80% shields 120% armor?
So with Prof at 5 (using current mechanics)
SCR: 138% shields, 80% armor.
CR: 80% shields, 138% armor.
RR: 90% shields, 126% armor.
AR: 126% shields, 90% armor.
Using the proposed mechanic
SCR: 120% shields, 92% armor.
CR: 92% shields, 120% armor.
RR: 103% shields, 110% armor.
AR: 110% shields, 103% armor.
I'm not advocating for either side, I just want to make sure I understand the damage profiles. |

That's odd, Why is the CR different from the rest? Shouldn't it be the weakest weapon against shields? |

Explosives are the thing that are 80% shields - 120% armor. Or at least it should be.
Ya but if they applied that to the CR wouldn't that make it, i don't know, balanced? |

Not if assuming the CR uses Depleted Uranium for ammunition. In EVE, that is High Explosive, Medium Kinetic and High Thermal damage. Thermal is roughly equal against shields and armor, while Kinetic and Explosive more into armor. Resist mods aside. The fact that PR is so weak against armor however, makes no sense. It should fire Thermal/Kinetic and be average at both. But this isnt EVE, so... Just trying to justify the damage profile for the Cr :P
I appreciate the attempt at justification, as I'm unfamiliar with EVE, but as you said, this isn't EVE. I can't help feeling that changing the profile of the CR to 80% shields and 120% armor would be a better qay to balance the weapon. |
