Info: L vs UL armor

[luthien]

I played abit at entropedia some time ago. ive never seen a thread about this before so i decieded to make one myself.

the question i asked myself was:

When is an L armor more eco than its UL counterparts?

i got folowing numbers for the animal series armors:

(edit: ive chosen spiders as reference but since its the same protection thats compared it doesnt matter how much dmg is absorbed or wich dmg types)

armor: UL decay / L decay * 100% = "eco border"

bear: 4,737 / 3,923 * 100% = 120,75%
boar: 5,300 / 4,360 *100% = 121,56%
jag: 6,492 / 5,274 * 100% = 123,09%
tiger: 6,957 / 5,614 * 100% = 123,92%

those were very interesting numbers since a boar and bear set are VERY easy to get under those MU (on avg)

maybe i gonna complete the list for other armors later.
since i dont own those armors (and im glad i dont own them anymore seeing those numbers) i cant test myself if those calculations on entropedia are true

edit: ive also noticed that it doesnt matter at wich condition u buy the (L) armor piece, since it will absorb dmg until it has reached 0.00 ped tt value. u just cant unquip and equip them anymore if its tt value is under 3%

Now this is something interesting

has someone changed something in the caluculation as im sure the difference was a few tenths of a pec not over a pec per hit as shown on the jag and tiger numbers there

did some more comparing:

angel: 11,893 / 9,297 * 100% = 127,92%
shadow: 16,972 / 12,611 * 100% = 134,58%
cron: 23,645 / 17,386 * 100% = 136,00%
eon: 9,539 / 7,230 * 100% = 131,94
emine pg: 6,224 / 5,166 = 120,48%

looks like the uber armors keep there value

has someone changed something in the caluculation as im sure the difference was a few tenths of a pec not over a pec per hit as shown on the jag and tiger numbers there

well dont forget its a hit of a spider stalker. >60 dmg is absorbed

and first time i checked that when i compared bear to bear L and ghost and i came to the same "eco border MU". and that was in during the last bot war i think so about 8 month ago
