Stacking penalties: Difference between revisions

Line 33:

The first thing to note is that absolute effects are never stacking-penalized, only percentage effects. That is to say, things like +1 warp core strength, +1000 structure HP, +15m signature radius, +400 GJ capacitor are not stacking-penalized because they are not percentage (%) effects.

The second thing is that only modules and rigs are stacking-penalized. Skills, ship bonuses from ship skills, implants, hardwirings and boosters are not. There is one exception to this, and that is the [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Snake_Set Snake] pirate implant sets (the ones that affect velocity); the total velocity modification from this set ''is'' stacking-penalized.

The second thing is that only modules and rigs are stacking-penalized. Skills, ship bonuses from ship skills, implants, hardwirings and boosters are not.

The third thing is that negative and positive effects are stacking-penalized separately. So, one +% and one -% effect to an attribute suffers no penalties, whereas with two +% and two -% effects, one of each would only be 86.9% effective. An example might be velocity modifiers: if you have one [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Overdrive_Injector_System_II Overdrive Injector System II] on your ship (to increase your speed) whilst at the same time being slowed by a single [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Stasis_Webifier_II Stasis Webifier II] from an enemy ship - both velocity modifers are 100% effective. If you are then affected by second Stasis Webifier II (from the same or another ship) that second web will be only 86.9% effective.
