NPR STO usage

Player Questions
1

Not a question per se, more an observation with a possible question. I’m currently reducing the STO defence of an NPR using laser armed warships. I have sweet spot of range where I’m losing less than 3% of shield before the NPR misses enough times the shields regenerate. I have 20 ships in range and, based upon the log, the NPR is firing 39 STO against me every volley. My observation is the the NPR has over 200 STO even after me chipping away at them. Yet they only fire 39 STO each time. Is this working as expected or is this some kind of bug. I’m not complaining, my race will reduce the STO without ever taking damage but it seems a but strange they could properly reduce my shields/damage my ships if they fired every weapon.

Just because they show 200 STO it doesn’t necessarily mean they are the same type of STO weapon. Meaning, you could potentially be in range of only 39 STO, but if you moved in closer you’d get not just more damage from the 39, but potentially more shots from the other, shorter range STO.

Be wary of getting close enough for Gauss PD fire! 1 damage sounds like a funny joke until its hundreds of them shooting at point blank range every 5sec interval!

I was curious so I checked the DB, all the STO are the same type and all should be in range. I know what you mean about the STO-PD that is my next problem to crack after the STO are gone. :grin:
