Three Adaptive Invulnerability Fields, due to diminishing returns would provide much lower EM and Thermal (38% and 50%) with only a 63% kinetic resistance. | Three Adaptive Invulnerability Fields, due to diminishing returns would provide much lower EM and Thermal (38% and 50%) with only a 63% kinetic resistance. | ||
Alternatively, a slightly less complex calculation is that a resistance module improves resistance but only on the remaining part. Using our Adaptive Invulnerability Field I example above, the ship has a 20% base thermal resist profile already. So, the Adaptive Invulnerability I module applies its 25% but only to the 80% remaining hole (ie it provides 25% of 80% => 20% effectiveness) and our thermal resistance is now 40%. | |||
If we were to add another Adaptive Invulnerability Field I, it would add 25% of the 60% remaining hole (ie 15%) and our thermal resistance becomes 55%. Clearly, as resistances improve the effectiveness of extra modules is greatly reduced. If we added another Adaptive Invulnerability Field 1 | |||
