there is no stacking penalty. We have at the moment stacking bonus. For a example 3 damage mods on a A series assault dropsuit. Each mod has a 10% bonus towards damage with no penalty/bonus i would get 30% (1.3 multiplyer). But if you take a look on the ingame dropsuit stats it will tell you light damage mod: 1.33 multiplyer (33% bonus). So knowing that you get 1% bonus for each module when you stack them.

Stacking penalty broke this build. When it's working it uses the same formula as EVE.

This is the only clue I have.

Please keep in mind that this is data dating back to 2005.

Eve-Wiki provides a more simplified explanation of the whole thing. Although I think they need to update their wiki because mathematical logic doesn't tell me to add the percentages together to find the accurate product of the stacking effects.

It's hard to understand stacking penalties which is why I seem to have given up on understanding it.

Of course, please keep in mind that this formula is based on Eve mechanics. Dust is suppose to copy the same formulas but since we are in beta, the penalties are screwy.

Anyone know how the stacking penalty against mods work?

If I get shields back 25% quicker and throw in a second mod, do I get them back 35%? 40%?

I I recharge 42% faster and throw in another 42% mod, is it going to be 60-70%?

no.... there is a stacking penalty, the reason your suit says 1.33 multiplyer is because your probably have weaponry up to level 5, which equals an additional 10% damage. if you subtract 10% from 1.33 then you get the actual amount your getting from the damage modifyers (23%), which if you do the math like i explained it makes sense

Weaponry skilling isnt shown in your dropsuit damage chart

you sir are absolutely correct. if others dont believe what you are saying they should try it with damage mods.

now i dont know if its the same with other modules but i personally have seen the damage mod bonus since i usually run 2-3 damage mods in my high slots

Here's the Maths ...

On 100hp damage ...
First 10% gives 110hp
Second 10% gives 121hp
Third 10% gives 133.1hp

This is what happens when you apply 10% to a number 3 times.

I'm sure I've read an official acknowledgement that stacking penalties for Damage Mods aren't working.

Can't comment for other modules, I'm just showing the maths for the damage mods which are bugged.

I think you must be mistaken. Or have no idea what I'm asking.

I'm lookin' in game right now, let me quote for you: "NOTE: Stacking penalties apply to this module: the effectiveness of each additional module after the first will be reduced." *Complex shield recharger*

My question: How much is it reduced per mod?

Also, you're completely wrong about the damage mods. >_>

I was pointing out the error in a previous poster's who said this:

"Here's the Maths ...

Second 10% gives 121hp

It isn't, in fact, (((((650*1.05)*1.05)*1.05)*1.05)*1.05) = 829 or 650(1.05^5)=829. I know they're the same thing. Bonuses are applied in total to the base value (whether that value has already been modified by something else doesn't matter for this). That's why the actual formula for a modifier that does not have a stacking penalty is:

BASE x (1 + (M x N)

Where M is the modifier amount and N is the number of modifiers.

So your formula would actually look like this:

Base Attribute After Skillbook Levels x ( 1 + ([Multiplier of 1st mod x 100% ] x [Multiplier of 2nd mod x 87% ] x [Multiplier of 3rd mod x 57% ] ))
