Hull/Sheild

I dont understand how this works,
From the start of setting up my Ship Sheild /Hull read 92/8 Is this a % ?
If I load the ship Config (1) with speed generators.
and the drones with upgraded Generator boosters.
And config (2) with upgraded sheild generators giving a total of 33 generators
The sheild reading is still 92.
The hull remains the same at 8 showing 92/8
(Question 1) If there is reduced sheild generators (as in config 1) why does the sheild still say 92.
I also have a bo2 & bo1 boosters
I also have the max hit points for the ship.

(Question 2) How do I increase the hullfrom 2 upwards??

 

The 92/8 refers to 92% of the damage you take going to shield and 8% going to hp.

 

The 92/8 is a %.
It is because you use all Bo2 shields (they give 80 % of damage to shield), and you must have shield mechanics researched to level 5, which moves 12 % more of the damage to the shields. 80 + 12 = 92. Which is the best ratio you can have.

You can not improve your hull further, if hull research II is already level 3.

But that should be enough, a Goli has 256.000 base health points with hull II at level 3 you get 50.000 more. That is 306.000 health points, with a 92/8 ratio of shield hull damage the shields should take 11.5 times as much damage as the hull. 306.000 times 11.5 is 3519000. So in normal combat you would use over 3.5 million shield points to run out of health points before shield points.

So this should only be a problem if you use a lots of sab ammo and sar rockets, or if you encounter a goli with special ship designs.

Perhaps a C-SR2 level 3 pet gear could help you, that can restore a lot of hp very fast.
But I do not use it my self, so I am not sure.

 

Thank you for the info It is informative.

 

Information usually is informative

 

The crab drone formation raises the distribution by 20%, which gets you past 100%, making all damage go to your shields ....but also reduces your speed by 20%, so have a slow mine ready to trap someone heh heh.
