Hello everyone,

now that I'm finally able to post (it took a few weeks after registering :? ), I can finally ask my first question.

It concerns the "levels" of weapons/armor/shields. From observation, it looks like the resistance/vulnerability properties of armor are not the only factor in how much damage is taken from being hit by a certain weapon, since I've noticed that I didn't take any damage from "regular" (not 9TeV) particle beam with a lv10 armor that was not described as particle resistant.

It looks like the level difference also affects how much damage is taken, i.e. a lv10 armor is just too high-level for any of the regular particle beams to even scratch.

Has anyone else noticed this, is there a formula behind it, or am I completely off-track ?

Hi Ihlosi,
welcome to Transcendence Forums! :D

You hit the spot! Actually the level of the armor influence the resistance tags (particle resistant, laser immune, etc) and affect also the damage, independent of the actual bonuses of the armor.

There was another post talking about this argument, but I cannot find it right now (maybe edit later)

BTW I'm interested too in a nice table with the actual resistances per level.
Argh, another project to work on... :D
