Beren Hurin K-A-O-S theory 703	Posted - 2013.07.17 23:07:00 - [1] - Quote So I did some math and am still working on what each weapon's round is worth. However in the interest of getting some more people out there with these healing hives I'll share my findings. Basically, I did some math to find that healing hives do about 6.6 armor HP healing per nanite cluster. This means that each respective healing hive module contains the below potential armor HP. This is the total amount per equipped module, not in each hive. But basically I think there is about 6.6 HP that comes per cluster. Compact: 165 HP K17/D: 950 HP Allotek: 1425 HP Wiyrkomi: 2000 HP Naturally, some of them will also give some ammo, and therefore lose a bit of clusters to them. Also, I only experimented with a fit with both regular plates and reactive plates on an amarr logistics suit. I think there could be a small possibility that reactive plates or suit type could affect the nanite cluster cost. If anyone would like to help with this project let me know. You just drop hives, and count the amount of ammo/HP dispensed until it is depleted. You should do it in a place where you won't be disrupted.

Its more than 165 hp for the compact as I run a militia fit with over 200 armor and a single compact will heal me to full health and still be active. Will test some more and post numbers but beware as I most times just run militia/starter fits. Yeah, my sample size is just one right now. i just tried the K17/D and on nanohive healed around 475 armor.

Wiyrkomi Triage only heals, doesnt give ammo. Yeah the main reason they increase is because both there are more hives per equipped module, and more clusters in the Wirykomi Like I said, same clusters in both proto and adv, that being 72. if you just heal from both hives you "should" get the same hp based on your logic of 6hp a cluster. That's why I think it's based on number of repairs since triage version repairs more hp per second. Yeah, my initial theory was that each cluster repaired the same HP amount. It isn't looking like this. I'm running through each to see how much HP each repairs and updating as I find more info. The wirikomi triage hive actually has 101 clusters. There are other possibilities though, like there could be repair clusters AND ammo clusters, or the number of clusters shown on info could be different than the database. This has been true before.
Beren Hurin K-A-O-S theory 718	Posted - 2013.07.18 04:09:00 - [7] - Quote I've done all 4 repairing hives 2-3 times each and got consistent results updated above. The ADV and PRO hives with 72 clusters each are confusing. If clusters correspond directly to capacity to heal HP, then not all clusters heal the same amount of HP, the clusters listed are not correct, or the clusters listed is just for ammo or something else. Clusters could correspond to something else like IgniteableAura was refering, such as the amount of total reps or something. However, The most reps I got from the Wyirikomi hive was around 35-40 I think, about 24-25 from the Allotek and about 7 max from the compact.
Beren Hurin K-A-O-S theory 718	Posted - 2013.07.18 04:26:00 - [8] - Quote So by bringing this info to light, I'm trying to highlight how the meta, as it exists now, could evolve to quickly enhance the strength of armor tanks. IF more people specced into proto hives (big CPU/PG sacrifice) IF people regularly had support 'reinforcement fits' they used to pepper defensive spots when safe IF there were regularly 5-10 healing hives in hotspots surrounding hotspots THEN armor tankers' repair rates could start to rival that of shield tankers. BLUF: I don't know if the armor/shield/equipment meta has fully evolved to the point where armor totally needs an overhaul yet.

I would be doubtful but if you get any irregularities this could be the case. The only other thing I could think is shield level interfereing but I find that doubtful. This is very interesting stuff, thank you. I'm 95% sure this isn't related to distance to center. The repair speed certainly isn't, but I will take a look tonight.
Beren Hurin K-A-O-S theory 725	Posted - 2013.07.18 13:27:00 - [10] - Quote So I'm not sure how to plan on proceeding with ammo resupply rate. If all nanohive clusters supply differently, then you'd have to test each one with each weapon. I have confirmed that, for example, Assault Mass Drivers get more total ammo resupplied than Breach Mass Drivers. Ammo may however, be more straightforward...stay tuned.

However in the interest of getting some more people out there with these healing hives I'll share my findings. Basically, I did some math to initially find that healing hives do about 6.6 armor HP healing per nanite cluster. However my assumptions were wrong as each hive is different. See below... Anywho, this means that each respective healing hive module contains the below potential armor HP. This is the total amount per equipped module, not in each hive. Compact: 350/hive in testing; 25 max clusters/hive (350 HP per module) @ 50 HP/s K17/D: 480/hive in testing; 72 max clusters/hive (960 HP per module) @ 20 HP/s Allotek: 950/hive in testing; 72 max clusters/hive (2850 HP per module) @ 40 HP/s Wiyrkomi: 2300/hive in testing; 101 max clusters/hive (6900 HP per equipped module!) @ 70 HP/s So not all clusters are alike... Naturally, some of them will also give some ammo, and therefore lose a bit of clusters to them. Also, I only experimented with a fit with both regular plates and reactive plates on an amarr logistics suit. I think there could be a small possibility that reactive plates or suit type could affect the nanite cluster cost. Further testing has revealed that reactive plates don't impact repair amount/speed. ok.. well since testing them is completely accurate is next to impossible my guess is that all of your numbers are low, well besides the compact. its just an odd ball that works differently the other three but still sort of the same, i'll explain that bit too. first your numbers are low and they should be 1440 2880 7070 now with those number you can see that it is one HP/s(value) per cluster and well that kindof make sense. now time for the compact its per cluster usage is 14HP=1 cluster so that would give the 350 HP, some room for error here as its not tested so it maybe per 15HP(that would give 375 which it could be) ammo and nades have certain values which i haven't found because it depends on the weapon. AV weapons take more and nades the most but im betting that they have per tick values and AV have higher per tick values.(by tick i mean the on screen ammo give numbers) Can you give a little more detail? Are you saying those are the numbers per module or per nanohive dropped for the K17/allotek/Wirykomi respectively? In which case, how is your math getting a unified HP/cluster?

So for 7070 are you saying that's the amount of HP in a single nanohive or the whole module? I got nothing close to 7070 in a single nanohive on the wirykomi. 6900 was in the total of 3 hives. Did you actually sit on the nanohives to come up with any of this, or just do some fuzzy math to try to figure out round numbers? I repeated my procedures 2x for each hive and got the same results. I depleted the shield/armor of a basic heavy suit to have about 15/600 armor HP. Then I stood over a hive and watched closely as my armor repaired. The broadcasted amount was always the same as what my indicator showed. The depletion rate is not random as far as I can tell.

Yep. There are 3 wyrikomis that you can carry, with 2 deployed max. I was able to deplete one nanohive while dispensing 2300 HP. So 2300 x 3 = 6900. Forcing round numbers on this is just confusing me. i'm open to other interpretations if you'd do your own trails. What you might be suggesting, it isn't clear, is that clusters could actually correspond to total healing potential DEPLOYED at one point. It may not correspond to each hive. EDIT: I wasn't disagreeing with the amount of clusters per heal, but the fact that there are 3 hives per wirykomi module (which i hate spelling btw) So each hive wasn't anywhere near 7000ish HP, but that's the odule.

Beren Hurin K-A-O-S theory 729	Posted - 2013.07.18 15:46:00 - [15] - Quote I would expect then for ammo to refill then in a similar way at x clusters per cycle, and different amounts of clusters maybe for each weapon class, and definitely different cluster amounts for grenades vs. guns.

So Wiyrkomi for example has 101 clusters and repairs 70hp/s. That should repair a total of 7,070 right? 101*70 = 7,070. You list however 6,900. Also what do you mean by per equipped module? Per nanohive? What I am not understanding is your first number. Are you saying that the Wiyrkomi should get 7,070 based on numbers but is only getting 2,300? Well done on the research good sir! Almost there... We found that the Wiyrkomi (and all rep-hives) takes 3 clusters per cycle to repair. 101 clusters = 33 cycles @ 70 HP per cycle = 2310 HP (in a wierdyourkrazy nanohive). So my original numbers were pretty good on a per hive basis. I'm going to clean up my original post in a bit.

Are we saying that there are two sets of 'nanite supplies' within each hive? One for ammo and one for armor? And that you could max one out before the other? I don't think this is how it works, but I guess I could test it by nearly maxing out an allotek from armor then emptying a gun to test.

Yeah, doubt the Triage nanohive would have clusters going out to ammo/grenades BUT a.) There is a potential bug which eats clusters for ammo/grenades but does not replenish them. b.) The nanohive, having split cluster bases for different things, is only providing one half of its clusters for armor when it should be using all of them - hence the 2,300 approximate. Oooooooooh!! Tricky!!!! This would get even more messy code-wise if you start to mess with logi bonuses to hive-cluster capacities.

OR you had one guy running any sort of advanced/proto remote repper on the guy lol I would add also, when the rail weapons start to show up, there will be a greater amount of deadly and accurate long range weapons. I would venture a guess too that the magsec SMG and Bolt pistol will basically make the gallente assault suit have the equivalent of 2 proto light weapons. When armor tankers start to realize that they are better at base defense with crap-tons of healing hives and logis, OR at long range where their strafe speed isn't as big of a deal, then armor will see its real strength.

Are you sure about that? Hmmm that would be incredibly confusing... not that that would stop us... Dang it, now I really don't want to wait for Shanghai to wake up and get to the office. Right now, it might be a little confusing if the nanohives do in fact split their clusters between ammo and health. But the math seems to make sense for the hybrid hives like allotek to fully prioritize whatever is on them. IOW I don't think the allotek at least, 'saved' clusters that could have been used for ammo. I was able to get 72/3 = 24 clusters worth of reps @ 40 HP per rep for 960 HP in one Allotek Hive.

Beren Hurin K-A-O-S theory 737	Posted - 2013.07.18 19:14:00 - [21] - Quote CCP Foxfour: Programming things to check (probably for your own reference, but you could share ): - How does the code see a dropsuit's armor remaining, ammo needed, or grenades/mines needed? - An armor repair module could potentially tick during/between server dropsuit check, thereby changing/nuetralizing the amount of clusters spent? - Would the client be animating the +x HP repaired? Or does this relate to the exact tick the armor repairs? - Where is the cooldown timer on triage WP being tracked? Total triage done over time by a person or on individual hives? - The above could relate to how the HP repaired gets rounded up/down and clusters get wasted. Note: If we know the # of clusters used / nanohive for resupply/triage, then you can start to estimate wp/hive. That was part of the intention of this post too.

That was part of the intention of this post too. WP/hive??? What do you mean? The Warpoints you could get for healing teammates with a nanohive? Yeah. you get +25 triage points from healing nanohives and +10 for ammo supply. Especially when you aren't on the frontlines all the time, those really matter. So if each Wirykomi hive has 33 or 34 clusters, that is potentially 25 x 34 = 850 w-pts/ hive (x3 hives) for 2550 warpoints total. The problem is that you'll probably be repairing more HP than you will get wp for.
Beren Hurin K-A-O-S theory 737	Posted - 2013.07.18 19:54:00 - [23] - Quote After a few triage cycles (5 or so) a cool down timer starts that stops you from getting/farming wp from healing. Remaining cycles won't give wp.

Anyway, that is really annoying, coz it kind of happen only when u really need that fused nade to resuply to blow a guy right next to you lol. Cheers I think they will give armor before ammo. So if you are out of armor but desperately need ammo, go to a regular hive before an allotek. Not sure if this is working as intended, but it is what I've found. Also, I've updated the OP with my findings with ammo resupply so far.

I thought this was balalanced through the ammount of ammo given (2-3 a cycle for a FG, 60 something for AR) but you get the same ammount of cycles each...? and on the same lines you only get X cycles repairing and Y cycles resupplying...? Yeah you look at my OP I've updated. Scrambler pistols take 1 cluster per cycle and mass drivers take 2 per cycle at least on the standard nanohive. Testing weapons with extremely slow RoF and the nanohives that fill at greater speeds means the experiment to empty an entire 72 cluster hive potentially takes like 5+ minutes. Then you occasionally get the random blue dot that decides that you look intellectually handicapped while you are shooting at the sky and jumping on nanohives that he ruins your experiment by chucking grenades to empty your hive.

I"m not sure if we are getting our terms confused here, but to me it makes sense to say "____ weapon uses ___ clusters per cycle." However, when CCP FoxFour says that 'all flaylocks have a nanite cost of 8 across the board' that makes me wonder if this isn't the case. If it takes 8 clusters to fill any flaylock, but they all have different amounts of max ammo, then this wont be the case. Example: Nanohive A: Fills 10% per cycle Nanohive B: Fills 15% per cycle Nanohive C: Fills 20% per cycle Weapon v.1: 200 ammo, 24 nanites to fill Weapon v.2: 275 ammo, 24 nanites to fill Are we saying that: 1) The database doesn't recognize the cycle cost of cluster for an ammo type, but the total fill cost for a full clip/reserve in clusters? 2) In the above scenario- nanohive A: 10 cycles each at 2.4 clusters per cycle. nanohive B: 7 cycles to fill @ 3.4 clusters per cycle nanohive C it would be 5 cycles @ 4.8 clusters per cycle In this scenario, I believe each hive is dispensing nanites per ammo at the same rate. However, this isn't how armor works. The math seems pretty certainly to go by clusters per cycle.

That was part of the intention of this post too. WP/hive??? What do you mean? The Warpoints you could get for healing teammates with a nanohive? Wouldn't figuring out WP per hive be tricky with the differing clusters consumed by each activity and the various cooldown timers in place on WP earnings (for both hives and repping)? I suppose we could establish max potential WP per hive and simply state that actual WP per hive will be less under battlefield conditions, plus truncated if the hive is destroyed. It would be a very useful thing to know just seems quite 'slippery' as far as pinning it down. Or am I missing some obvious way around that? 0.02 ISK Cross Yeah you're right. All we could know is the max potential. I really haven't been able to pin down how the timers work exactly. I don't know if the timers for nano-triage and repair tool triage are necessarily connected. I'm pretty sure I've seen more than 5 +25 triage messages in a row from nanohives. It's possible that each tier of nanohives has its on timers...dunno...

Fox is there any priority regarding how clusters are used in hives? What I mean is "how does the hive select which service to spend clusters on first?" I have yet to see a hive give more than one rep/ammo/nade at once, but that may be a purely UI thing in which only one is displayed at a time but it at least looks like there's only one type being given at a time and if true it suggests there is some system in place to determen which one. If not true what would it take for the UI to be updated so that it accurately reflects to the player whats transpiring in game? Also, thank you for participating on this. Cheers, Cross Not sure if this is what you are talking about, but when I've had all the triage hives down that I could i've seen +50 triage before. It is as if the server can aggregate the points you get. I don't think Ive ever seen +20 resupply though.

Time to finish maxing my related skills so I can test them more. Thanks for the info on this. Cheers, Cross ps ~ great thread, thanks again for pointing me to it. On the topic of grenades though, I'm testing throw distance an I see no difference from one to another packed, core, impact, sleek, or regular.

Oh, you've found another whole 'kettle of fish' It makes me wonder how grenades work within the new range system or if the code has somehow been implemented in a way that means they don't interact at all. EDIT: What's your testing protocol for this? https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=99493&find=unread

It is confusing to follow the discussion here, but repair and resupply work differently when it comes to clusters. repair is the easiest at a standard clusters/cycle. Resupply is a function of each weapon's total ammo amount. The amount of clusters consumed per cycle on a nanohive is different for each weapon based on: A) player's ammo skill B) nanohive's ammo resupply rate C) weapon's nanite consumption rate per max ammo amt. C) doesn't change based on A). It would make the most sense to put cluster resupply cost on weapons and not on nanohives. In another topic, what would you think about splitting down nanohives even more into explosive/projectile/plasma/rail nanohives? They could have the interesting effect of consolidating team strategies, maybe at a reduced fitting cost or some really good benefit.

I think if done in the vein of the repair tools with an emphasis rather than an exclusion it would be a great way to add diversity to the hive line and hopefully improve squad coordination and, to borrow a term, "fleet doctrine". The repair tools have two rep values, one for use on vehicles and one for use on infantry. I'd take the same approach with specialist hive types. Give the hive an enhance efficiency when resupplying the "intended" type of ammo, and let it still resupply any type but take a performance hit for ammo types outside of the specialized type. 0.02 ISK Cross Yeah I like that idea. The only other thing you'd need to show would be a graphic that shows the kind of hive it is then. So that's that many more things to track.

When, and Why did they change the Nanohive limit on the field? i mean. few weeks ago we could deploy 2x nanohives per nanohive equipment fitted at the same time, which means that for a gallente logi fitted with 4x nanohives, he could deploy 8 active nanohives at the same time. Is this a new bug, or working as intended, please CCP SoxFour give a say about that. I am not exactly sure what you are saying here. I have never been able to deploy more than 2 of the SAME nanohive since I've been playing a logibro except for the ishukone guaged ones. If you have the same nanohive equipped in different spots, you can carry more than 2 at a time, but can only deploy up to the normal amount listed of that type.

Is this a new bug, or working as intended, please CCP SoxFour give a say about that. As of 8/12/2013 I was still able to employ this method, provided all nanohives deployed were of differing types I will test further to see if this has been altered. Cross I am 100% sure that i was able to deploy 6x alotek nanohives 3 weeks ago (2 from each module equipped) And none were disappearing?
