[GI] Evasive Maneuvers What's it Mean to you?

this skill can be good but as I understand and have been testing it as I add one point at a time I have come to find out that it does work and starting to understand how it works....

I first tested it with no points in evasive maneuvers in skill tree. I was looking to see what happens... I noticed I was being hit more with out it and enemy lasers where hitting me as well as rockets were hitting me.


I then Added one point and took note I was being hit by lasers but the enemy rockets started to miss... I added another point and took note that the enemy rockets stated to miss more...

but I the enemy lasers didn't miss much but the rockets did... With this I have come to a conclusion that Evasive Maneuvers is to make Rockets miss not lasers.

If we read what it says, it states: Reduce The Probability Of Enemy hits by a %

But that's all it says it does not say Laser
Probability or Rockets. Nice One Big Point.

I come to discover it is Rocket Probability not lasers...


So now we Know what it does... It is for enemy rockets not hitting you there you have it. The lasers are still going to hit you tho the rockets may miss you from time to time, it is good to be able to dodge and Ice Rocket every now and then.

So, Now you have to ask yourself if the juice wroth the squeeze of adding points to Evasive Maneuvers? I wouldn't add anymore than 2 point to it. Why you may ask? If a enemy decides to use Precision Targeting The Precision target-er is a highly accurate targeting system that increases the hit ratio of normal rockets by 100% what Normal Rockets 2026 and 2021 not the 3030s. So, yeah you are going to get hit even if you have Evasive Maneuvers on full.

 

For the less than obvious thing each laser has a hit chance of dealing a certain amount of damage now add in 45 for argument sake each laser has a probability to hit or miss by 12% when maxed out - so 12% per laser and or a 12% chance to have the entire shot miss a mod with more number charts/knowledge of it will probably help but with evasive maneuvers the targeting cpu and electro-optics can give up to a 75% bonus chance of lasers hitting so whether they cancel the 12% out completely or not i dont know and the precision targeter works for all rockets as far as i am aware of

 

There is not a lot of Talk about this subject, but needs to be addressed.


So, Far I have been Checking it, point per point. Now, The lasers are going to hit no matter what every now and then they may miss. What the Evasive Maneuvers does is for the Rockets only... Not the lasers... If we read what it says, it states: Reduce The Probability Of Enemy hits by a % But it dose not say what ammo it reduces the probability On... It does not give a clear description of Dodging incoming lasers, rockets, and missiles.

All we know is what it says Reduce The Probability Of Enemy hits by a (%) OF WHAT are we talking about about here? The over all ammo? If so... I have been adding point by point and checking each point as I add it and the only thing that I noticed is Rockets missing not lasers.

Now as I use to understand, and as I was told long ago, and I don't see this visual effect that this skill is suppose to provide. If there is any effect at all, I have never seen it. The purpose of the visual effect is to let you know that the Evasive Maneuvers is working and doing what it suppose to be doing lol.

Support needs to look at this issues and fix it... The visual effect use to state that if the Enemy laser misses your ship you are suppose to see the miss and it will show up in color if the miss was caused by the Evasive Maneuvers this miss would show up in color Blue Or Purple... That is a Fact and I have never seen these color appear when enemy shoots...

 

Rockets has a lower hit rate anyways than lasers does. If I remember right the lasers has something around 75% chance to hit, at least on PvE, meanwhile the rockets does not have similar hit rate.

I hit 100 times with only lasers and with only rockets. I missed with rockets 34 times out of 100, and with lasers I missed only 18 times out of 100. I don't have electro-optics or heat-seeking missiles, 0 points on both. I tested the missrate of rockets with PLT-2026 and lasers I used LCB-10. However, this is just a small test, I will provide a bigger test in some point, as this interests me as well.

Where have you seen this clarification? There's never been or stated to have such a graphical effect in that skill. EDIT: Even if there was and apparently there is, I need to test it out, however, it's not stated what blue it is, but it might be slightly different. EDIT 2: The misses that hits on me are red instead of purple, sometimes I see no miss at all.

And I do know that it impacts very highly on lasers.

EDIT 3: On an account which has full evasive manouvers, the rockets hit 33 times out of 100, however, the highest missing streak was 7 rockets in a row, meanwhile without them had only 3 rockets.

On lasers: I had electro-optics full, but enemy had also evasive manouvers maxed out, I missed only 10 times out of 100, which is reasonable, as you should have a total of 12% chance to miss.
