Perception

This article is about the Perception statistic. For the Starship Perception skill, see Skill: Starship Perception. For the Stealth statistic, see Stealth. For the Starship Stealth skill, see Skill: Starship Stealth.

Overview[]

Perception is a hidden ship statistic to detect ships through another ship's Stealth. Perception begins at a base value of 5000. As described in the Starship Stealth skill unlock, the distance at which a ship can see through Stealth uses the following formula.

Perception - Stealth / 50 = km

Perception Bonus[]

Perception is improved by the Stealth Detection Rating shown on a Starship's statistic page, as well other bonuses that modify Perception directly. The flat Perception bonus for the Stealth Detection Rating uses the following formula. This value is added directly to Perception.

Perception Bonus =  Stealth Detection Rating / 2

Base Stealth Detection Rating[]

The base value for the Stealth Detection Rating is calculated based on three modifiers.

• Starship Type
• Auxiliary Power
• Starship Perception (skill)

This base value is then calculated using the following formula.

Base = (Aux * Ship mod * ((Skill / 100) + 1))

Ship Type Modifier[]

StealthSight[]

StealthSight, also known as Starship Stealth Detection, is a percentage based bonus to Perception. The bonus given by having more than one item or ability with a StealthSight bonus is added together and multiplied against 5000, the base Perception. This also means the bonus can be converted into a fixed bonus, as shown in Unit Conversion Formulas. For every +1% StealthSight, Perception is increased by +50 (5000 * 0.01).

Additionally, the StealthSight bonus is displayed as part of the Stealth Detection Rating shown on a Starship's statistic page. In this case, the combined StealthSight bonus is multiplied by 10000, and is added to the current Steath Detection Rating. For every +1% StealthSight, the Stealth Detection Rating is increased by +100 (10000 * 0.01).
