Stacking Kinetic Buffs

from GalCiv4 Forums

Is this how its supposed to work? seems very broken.

Serrated munitions gives +30% kinetic and -20% HP. but the kinetic bonus seems to stack for the whole fleet of 6 ships. giving each ship +180%. if this is meant to be how it works why does the -20% HP not stack? These are custom designed ships with 1x Serrated Munitions each.

Each ship when not in a fleet does 108 dmg but when combined in the fleet of 6 does 140 each. Even more confusing is then  the fleet then says the total kinteic dmg is 1036. even though 140x6 is 840. Am i understanding this all wrong?

Thanks!

wow, yeah that sounds like a bug. i just dont think anyone has noticed cause no one usually uses those +30%/ -20%hp items i think cause they'd rather have the +20% with no hp loss. if this is intended to have a fleetwide effect it def needs to get put into the description, but i'm really guessing this is a bug

Yes. Can keep on stacking and finally one hit for anything. :blush:

I think you are right, haha. I looked at that module and said "nope."  I haven't come close to considering using it before I read this, and now I can't use it because I know I'd want to cheese it.

Thank you for reporting this. I will pass it along to the developers to take a look.

That is not the intent, this will be fixed in 1.02.
