Finally did a small test I've been meaning to do for ages...

went on a soc beacon tonight. Only a 23, so no armour necessary...


As the ship was about to explode, a thought struck me...

I carefully equipped a few bits of fully repaired vigi armour.

The ship exploded, we all died, and revived at Twin...


Every piece of armour I put on had decayed 1 pec !


So, slip off your armour after your beacons, kids...

Might as well do it while you're waiting for the siren to go off.


Just thought you'd like to know.

Next time i'll check with all 7 pieces, and all 7 plates...

Might be worth checking different armour and plates, too
 
Nice info, I was curious whether this was the case :)
 
Weird... Are you sure it wasn't the fee for equiping the armor? :scratch2:
 
You remembered that the armour decays 1 pec when you put it on, right?
 
I think the 1 pec decay was from you putting it on. I believe your armor decays 1 pec when put on and 1 pec when taken off?
 
The decay is only when you put it on.
 
yer, I think I will go with the crowd on this one.. equipping fee.. 1pec...

just another thought, I wonder if there would even be any armor decay anyway after the ship blows up? I don't think there would be because the ship isn't necessarily 'attacking' you (like a creature would) as it self destructs.. I was thinking along the lines of how you receive no damage and no decay on armor when a robot spacecraft explodes. :scratch2:

Ossi!
 
yeah, it is the 1 pec armour-equipping fee. Oh, and before another thread is born, don't forget, clothes decay 2 pec when you put them on. (L)imited items do not decay
 
Yeah... looks like you could be right...

1 pec armour decay from equipping. :ahh:

I R :newbie:


On the plus side, let me alter the tone of the thread...

No Armour Decay when Beacon Ship Explodes! :yay:

since there is a 1 ped fee for putting on the armor, I dont see how this test was sucessful, however thank you for taking the time to try. +rep for you efforts
 
Drink more Vodka Chopper :shots:
 
We seem to agree that the only cost is the equipping fee, but a nice experiment anyway - we found out the answer!

1PED Equip fee?? I didn't think MA was going to implement that fee until CE2 was out! LOL :D

Ossi!
 
Still some n00bishness left, it seems...

Fair enough, I'll work on it.

Sense will resume shortly...

Thread re-opened by popular demand...

I was soo blinded by apparently finding a stealth tax that I engaged my mouth (fingers?) before my Brain was in gear, as u do...

Who was it said "Before you look for a conspiracy, first consider the possiblility of a Fuck-Up.." ?


Please feel free to twist the knife. Creative and/or Funny scores points.

I R n00b, this much is clear... but what can You ADD?


Bring da noize... :rolleyes:

My bad typo, I meant to type 1 pec. you know the c and d are very close on the keyboard, again sorry
