Cap Ship Tuffness

calculated HP

from Sins Forums

Given that 1 Armor equates to a 5% increase in Hull, we can calculate an 'effective hull', and then add total shields to it to give an approximation of total hit points available. 

Granted sheilds regenerate at twice the rate that hull does, meaning that shields are more effective, depending largely upon how long it takes to kill a ship.

The above was pasted in from MS Excel & Word.  It required lots of reformatting (colors & fonts), editing, and it still looks weird.  Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the white space (easily), or what 'the trick is' to pasting from other programs?

Conclusions that you can draw from the above tables are:  Battleships are generally the toughest.  TEC generally have the highest effective hull.  Advent rely more on sheilds.  Vasari fall somewhere in the middle.

At the first level, the TEC Kol has the highest combined HP, 5000, down to the Advent Revelation and Vasari Marauder both with about 4000 HP.  At level 10, the Kol's combined HP has climbed to about 8800, again the highest level.  At level 10, several Advent ships are in the 7200 range, but presumably their greater sheild proportion will compensate.

hmm make it in a better program and post it as a screenshot could be a workaround.

All factions can also research a 30% increase to hull for all their ships.

Vasari and TEC can add 20% to shields, Advent can add 30% to shields.

Advent can add 4 extra armor, Vasari can add 5, TEC can add 6.

The Advent advantage in shields will probably narrow the gap substantially at level 10.

Take for example, the battleships at level 10, max research:
Kol
5460 hull, 3120 shield, 15.5 armor
Effective hull = 9692
Total effective HP: 12882

Radiance
4030 hull, 4615 shield, 15.5 armor
Effective hull = 7153
Total effective HP: 11183

Kortul
4940 hull, 3630 shield, 14 armor
Effective hull = 8398
Total effective HP: 12028

There are, however, more factors to consider such as shield mitigation, shield restoration rate, and supporting abilities (example, Kortul's Power Surge allows it to recharge its shields up to 225% faster).

Notable, of course, is the armor of the Kol and Radiance being equal at level 10. The Kol has 9.5 base armor, the additional 6 comes from research. The Radiance has 8.5 base armor, 4 comes from research, and the last 3 comes from Energy Absorptive Armor.
