Meh I used flares on commands and I don’t find them THAT good (compared to ceptors for example) I use the shield booster because it has also a very low cd a it heals more than half of my shield in seconds. And as you see I also stack energy and energy regen when I get the blue stabilizers and 9/9 synergy I think ill hit the 1600 energy or more
If you are flying prometheus X, shield booster doesn’t make sense to use - either Hull resist active module or flares will be as of much more use to you. On top of that on a Prometheus x you have a luxury of sacrificing your shield module slot for more Capacitor Volume module

That’s why the shield regens so fast, because it has low numbers, missiles do nothing to me with the phase shield, and as I’ve heard, stacking huge numbers of resist are not that worthy, I have decent default resists plus the coating polarizer, that’s why I though some shield regen in hard moments would help to absorb damage with the phase shield active.
Anyway comming from an experienced player, I’ll try the hull resist active to see how it works, thanks for the tips

Using shield booster under diffusion shield reduces your energy and thus the amount of damage that diffusion shield can absorb. Probably not a good idea to do in “hard moments”.

I know but with a 1500 energy pool, a 250 energy active will not damage that bad, I mean, I will regen half of my shields in a few seconds with it, that’s my though about the diffusion shield

Yes but diffusion shield tanks 2500 damage with those 250 energy, probably more than the shield you’ll regen.

I see the point, I’m using now what Kostyan told me and it’s pretty nice, specially against other bubble fighters, I get around 200 em resist with nanocomposite coating + coating polarizer

Just keep in mind that Diffusion shield does not have any resists and can not be affected by resist buff/debuffs which means that if you are alone your hull resist aura have no affect on you, except for wasting your energy that could be directed for more dmg absorption, in order to push your efficiency to the limit on a command you have to decide quickly if you need that aura on during diffusion shield to aid your team mates or you you can switch it off.
Btw here is a thread about Prometheus x we had awhile back

Considering the current gunnery screw up you probably want to focus on regen to recap your energy while dodging. 200 energy regen / sec equals with a 2k dps tank that’s constantly active for the 15 second duration. Had times when i was keeping energy stable against 3-4 people with low dodging or completely negating an ECM’s energy absorber.

And how can I get 200 energy regen per sec? I must say that I don’t want to use a Passive Armor. I have 169 regen right now with 1405 energy pool and a 122 energy afterburner use.

Forgot to mention i mainly use Katana S. 169/s vs 122 usage is decent at least. 1405 too. What do you have for hull tanking? If i go to my R8 Prometheus i’m getting like a little above 1500 energy pool, @160 regen/s. Hull tanking is also very decent on it with minimum 70 resists across the board, active mods not included. That would be @ 160-170 across the board. Those are synergy 2-3 only so far.

Afaik R8 Prometheus has only 1 energy slot and Prometheus X (R9) 3, how do you get 1500 pool and 160 regens with the rank 8?
For tanking I have + hull - speed and + resists - rotation.
Oh crap, i mixed it up with the Katana again… i’m tired
Logged in to check stats. Synergy level 2, this is R8 Prometheus:
1061 e cap
153 regen
109 ab e usage
hull resists 82 kin, 86 em, 56 thermal +101 across the board with both active mods on at the same time
Remembered i originally wasn’t sure what to do with it so i went for a hull+energy tank mixture. It’s not doing bad either, but if i want i still have room to go in one of the extremes.
Katana S would be at synergy 9:
1531 e cap
192 regen
146 ab e usage
shield resists 50 kin, -10 em, 20 thermal as base, +105 across the board from other mods
There’s LOTS of room for going in either shield or energy extremes. Tested only for energy so far and i can get well over 2k energy cap and 200+ regen/s, but i’ll end up with the base shields for it only. That’s where i started the current setup then went mixing it with some shield tanking. Stopped a little above the point where cracks started to appear in the diffusion shield under heavy fire and am satisfied with the end results.
Also, i’m using +30% energy cap implant at R7, not the afterburner energy use reduction. Logic behind it is that the new AB barely gives extra speed and it also depletes your energy reserves at a rather fast pace, with or without the R7 fed implant, so strengthening energy tanking with 30% sounds better. Especially on Katana with speed bonus at stock and also using +7 speed booster.
