question about PHASED PROJECTILES research

xcvbnm

hi everyone

first of all i'm interested of detailed info about this tech for my knowledge in future strategy by someone with experience

this tech has any effect to enemy ships who don't have shields?

when is good to use this tech and with what kind of weapon(energy and explosive) works well in combination with projectile weapons who has phased tech on?  ex. energy weapons with ion modulator + explosive

cheers

IMO, projectiles are too slow to use in FvF without Iridium Magnets.  Therefore, I would not recommend, ever, building ships with Phased Projectiles to fight other ships.  

On the other hand, since base modules do not dodge, the additional velocity of Iridium Magnets is not necessary.  So, you will get the most benefit of Phased Projectiles on your basing fleets.

I personally love using phased projectiles, they are killer in FvF vs the right setup.

Anyways how it works is, normally when shields are active 10% of the damage you deal also gets dealt to ships. When adding phased projectiles, it increases the damage dealt to ships while shields are active. If there are no shields 100% of the damage hits the ship anyways so there is no change.

Example ship with phased 1 = 10% normal damage + 10% bypassing shields = 20% armor damage
