armor upragde decreases ships agility.....
-
Yes, Aleks, I know that, but I want to determine by how much for each grade of armour so I can optimise my performance
-
it affects the ship's agility SLIGHTLY... or in other words there is (in my opinion) no significant negative impact on your ships overall performance
quite on the contrary, if you don't have an armor upgrade in CF you will die twice as fast without it
does it say that the higher the Armor upgrade the more it affects the manouverability negatively?
Even if that is the case... doesn' matter, Armor Upgrade lvl 10 is a must

Name Hull strength increase Turn rate decrease(hull weight increase)
Class 1 armor upgrade 10% 5%

Class 9 armor upgrade 90% 45%
Class 10 armor upgrade 100% 50%SPECIAL NOTE: Armor upgrades cannot be used in conjunction with weight reducer upgrades.

Wow, thanks for that Ryleous Arkane - very interesting
So, in theory, a ship with higher base armour could mount lower armour upgrade to achieve same overall armour as a ship with lower base armour, and by doing so reduce the turn rate difference. Well, confusing, but I know what I mean, lol.Many thanks !

dont use weigth reduction for pvp or u will die....

Weight reduction utterly useless on a VHF...

Not talking about Weight Reducers, just Armour Upgrades

I humbly offer to differ sir.
Armor is pointless if you're 1 second faster turning, especially in an already fast turning ship that already has respectable armor.Instead of worrying about armor upgrades, try finding a good ship with high hull already that is still relatively nimble/fast turning.
Put simply, a slower player vs. their target is usually a dead player. So the eternal debate rages on... Speed vs. Armor.
-
Armor is absolutely not pointless, I tested out the weigh reduction once and there was absolutely no difference in its manoeuverability
Even if your ship is 1 sec faster turning without Armor upgrade you will just die very quickly... besides no one flies a ship that is turning 1 sec slower than the others (except for Eagle :P... and some others I can't remember)
Like I said, without Armor upgrade lvl 10 you are TOAST and giving up armor for weigh reduction is nonsense
-
We'll just leave it at that, merely a difference of opinion good sir.
