I've always been under the impressions that when you blow all the way up that any number of your subsystems can get damaged. I've also been under the impression that if you fly a ship without armor your subsystems are more likely to get damaged. And finally I have always been under the impression that if you eject instead of get blown up then those subsystems are less likely to take as much damage.

There is a reason I worded my post the way I did. It's related to a situation I'm involved with on one of the servers I play on. I just want opinions without stirring the pot.

uh boy. Been so long since ive gone KABOOM or been squished like a bug im not sure i remember correctly, but here goes:

>>been under the impressions that when you blow all the way up that any number of your subsystems can get damaged.

I beleive thats true. I could be mistaken but once damage has gone past defenses, the rest is a dice roll. I dont think theres much in the way of locational damage other then shield and armor.

>>been under the impression that if you fly a ship without armor your subsystems are more likely to get damaged.

Im 100% sure thats true. As defense goes, your shields the first line of defense, the 2nd is armor. When your talking about comps, the damage has to get through:
1.) your shield.
2.) Your armor
3.) components armor

I wont fly a ship without armor, even if its tantamount to tinfoil (tinfoil = MK I w/o reinforcement panel). Sometimes tinfoil makes all the difference. When i see unarmored ships in space, the first thing that pops into my mind is the word noob.

>>I have always been under the impression that if you eject instead of get blown up then those subsystems are less likely to take as much damage.

I think thats not true. Havent ejected in awhile so im unsure, but the last time i ejected everything was doubled in penalty. Eject is a misnomer, What it should really say is "Self destruct".

Ok I have to admit I wasn't sure about the eject part. Of one of those too stubborn to eject type of pilots anyway so I have little experience with ejecting.

You're talking about certain pilots froma certain faction on a certain server at certain events complaining about the other faction targetting certain engine shaped components?

Good post. This'll get the truth out in the air.

Yep, engines can blow off without them being directly targetted

Please don't take this personally. I'm not trying to insult you but....

I was trying to get through this discussion without mentioning accusations. :/

eject = toon takes no penalty & ship takes the hit

blow up = toon takes penalty (there is none now) & ship just blows up and you have to repair it

but dont trust me

I wonder if Tomo can suggest they remove this feature then since it no longer applies. I gotta tell ya though I imagine it's not high on their list though in the current form the eject feature is nothing but a down side since BF and wounds were removed.

I wasn't accusing..merely bringing to light. Sorry though. I'll be more tact in future

Eject is handy if you're disabled, though there are commands for that ... but imagine somebody doing their first Vette, and the final hit they take while boosting away manages to take out the reactor.
