Resisting Cube/Diamond Nanoprobe Field

posted on October 1st, 2010, 12:45 pm

How much would it take for a vessel to remain in a cube/diamond nanoprobe field for the entire time it exists and survive with minor damage? I've seen half of a fleet of battleships be destroyed because they stayed in a field too long. I'm asking because some of the Tereanan battleships can survive nanoprobes and I need to know how strong to make the armor. Plus, do the nanoprobes immediately knock out the shields?

I thought you modded, lol - you can just look in the ODFs ^-^

Nanites hit 5 times per second, dealing ~1 damage each time. Roughly 10% disable chance per hit with ~1 second off time for the affected subsystem. Engines get disabled v~ 30% with a default of 2 seconds as the only exception. Total time of the ability is 10 seconds.

Cloaked vessel's weapons are disabled ~60% of the time, with 5 seconds of delay time standard. This occurs once every second for up to 2 units.

Nanites do not affect the shield subsystem for disabling purposes ^-^
