Ivar Thule Elite Gamers Militia 0	Posted - 2013.07.21 19:46:00 - [1] - Quote Not sure if I understand how this works. Let's take an armor module for example. If I was to get Armor Plating to lvl 5 and get the complex armor plates, is it 10% better? Meaning it isn't at 115 hp but really 127 (rounding up)? Or does efficacy mean it uses less pg/cpu?

Your first idea is correct- 10% more HP.

It has nothing to do with "effectiveness" but again, "efficacy" is not a word that's likely to pop up in casual conversation for most people.

Cause it's sounds too close to 'deficacy', a cross between 'defecate' and 'delicacy'... and nobody wants to think about that But on topic: yes, 10% efficacy of a shield extender that gives 50 shields will be 50 * 1.1 = 55
