Hardcaps (again).

[DaRho]

Hi.

Quick question about the current hardcaps:

1) are hardcaps described by Ink in this  post: are still valid?

2) are these the only hardcaps? What bout repair amount? Repair time? Penetration?

I think for everything not specified, the hardcap is 25% but don't quote me on that.

1. Yes

2. Yes and no (we can't really confirm or not)

for the Groups I have talked to - These following points are generally accepted but not proven:

- Repair is capped at 30% additional repair so the max you can do it a 50% repair

- There is not currently a hard cap for repair time bonus

- Penetration is capped at 30%

- It is believed that Boarding Bonuses have no hard cap.

Crew hardcap seems 10%?

My surprise with portbonus has 270 crew. Same as a surprise with port bonus aswell as cramped status.

Yah I remember when they lowered the % for mods and such they capped it, but I still think 10% is way low concedering they lower all the mods.  I'll have to test this on something to see.

10% of surprise crew is 264. Cramped is 2.5% which would account for the extra 6.

Further subjects are needed as I know a guy who gets 630 some odd men on a rattvisan.

I think the hard cap for 5th and lower rates is 12.5% no? Didn’t they nerf it from the 25% it was before just to keep the Requin from being insane?

I'd double check port bonus and if you have any mods or books accounting for it... other than that I cannot explain it. maybe crew space (but that's not likely)

One question about hardcaps...

A ship that is capped from 18 knots to 15.5 knots will sail at 15.5 knots in a wider range of wind angles than a ship that is capped only from 16 knots to 15.5 knots?

Yes. That's correct.

scratch that

im a doofus, the second surp is cramped aswell. for some reason i always assumed that a ship with a trim would be purple, so i thought blues were always non trim.

sounds good. I am not aware if there is actually a higher crew hard cap.

NA-Map suggest you can go above 300 crew on a Surprise if you want to go crazy with it (not counting crew space).
