PVE Enemy Stats - Shield, Armor, Resistance, Weapons...

Mercenary Center Q & A Section (Pilots Version)
#1

A thing that is a little bit annoying as a newb…
there is no ingame description of PVE enemies.

A list that shows what weapons for example a Cyber uses, what works best against them.

Especially the aliens are a pain. The projectiles are green, so i couldnt figure out what type of shield i should use on my guard here. My guess was EM…but they still blow me up very fast. Also i couldnt figure out what type of damage works best against them…EM damage against the shield was definetly not the right choice…thermal works like a charm against shield, kinetic against the armor itself…but is it realy like that, or just my imagination?

 

So, sadly most guides were never finished (for example the ressource location guides), couldnt find a PVE guide so far…so yeah, im asking here again for help

 

is there a list of these ships from PVE and Invasion somewhere?

for their weapons : settings/HUD/incoming damage and effects

 

for their resists : you can calculate them easily

 

map : have you tried finn inc [http://forum.star-conflict.com/index.php?/topic/25061-finn-inc-invasion-guide-draft-1/#entry294723](< base_url >/index.php?/topic/25061-finn-inc-invasion-guide-draft-1/#entry294723)

thanks for that, havnt noticed that option.

does it show the damage-type there too?

how do i calculate the resist?

 

the map i allready knew, its pretty usefull, sadly they never finished the hidden container locations :frowning:

Of course they did.

You just need to buy yourself a spatial scanner.

still, the actual locations are not in that guide, just mentioned in “coming soon” :wink:

my spatial scanner is just waiting for my mauler to be fully equipped^^

Color code shows damage type.

White RAW

Blue EM

Red THERMAL

Yellow KINETIC

Resistance are defined as follow :

If r>0, ED = D / (1+r/100)

If r<0, ED = D * (1-r/100)

Where r is resistance, ED is the effective damage (the one you see on your screen), D is the theoretical damage (the one you read on the description of your weapon).

The damage reduction, i.e. the percentage you read on the ship description, is defined as (D-ED)/D.

If you want more maths, do ask.

never had much luck with kinetics against a alien ship, the damage is almost halved. My best luck has been with thermal and EM, covert ops can deal huge damage in both those ranges, but only if the AI is bugged so you don’t die trying
