The value of a knowledge base is the confidence in it's data. Observation has valid uses and I will use it in place of better data but more solid confirmation is preferable, if at all possible.
Thanks for your observations!
Any other observations or data on EMP?
Outstanding questions include;
-Arcing mechanics
Alex stated that arc are weighed linearly and could arc anywhere, without weapon distinction, which might imply it is possible for all EMP sources to arc. The observations & categorisation of "localised EMP only" contradict this so not sure where we're at there. Will bigger EMP hits arc easier or will lots of already disabled mounts within initial impact increase arc rates?
-Repair rates
We now know that mount &engine repairs stall if that section has taken any damage in the last 5 seconds, which is excellent. At what rate do they repair? Is it different for different mount/engine sizes or different hull sizes?
