Ability: Auxiliary to Inertial Dampers

Overview[]

Auxiliary to Dampers (also called "Auxiliary Power to the Inertial Dampers") is a fast cycling general purpose mobility and defense skill. When combined with Evasive Maneuvers, it is possible to exceed full impulse speeds even during active combat. The immunity to repel and disable effects will nullify the push/pull effects of abilities such as Tractor Beam Repulsors and Gravity Well, but it will not directly counter Tractor Beams, although the extra speed may still facilitate an escape.

Basic information[]

• Profession: Engineering
• Locale: Space
• Game Description: Auxiliary Power to the Inertial Dampers redirects auxiliary power to provide significant kinetic damage resistance, movement turn and speed improvement, and immunity to repel and disable effects.

Notes/References[]

• Numbers for ability power are base values taken from tooltips and are heavily modified by auxiliary power level.
• Duration of buffs not affected by auxiliary power.
• Formula for Kinetic Damage Resistance/Crewmen Resistance:
  • Rank I: Res = (Aux Power + 49.95) * 11/30
  • Rank II: Res = (Aux Power + 49.95) * 73/150
• Formula for Speed/Turn Rate Buff:
  • Speed = (Aux Power + 49.95) * 2/3
  • Turn Rate = (Aux Power + 49.95) * 4/3
• Calculated values might differ from displayed ones, because power and skill point values don't show any fractional points ingame.
