this is what i chuld fit whit what i had at the time
and my skillz are not even that good in fitting

while i would agree that the visual (chassis) module should also have a signature size modificator, i dont want it without default-modules filling at least half of those slot even if i dont have anythng equipped. Its already *** that we have to run around with armless robots because of the mass mechanic...

whats your AP/HP ratio on shields ?

everything t2 is reducing your performance pretty much. not only the missiles got less range, longer cycletimes and the shield is only half as good as with t4 and the neut has a worse neuted vs. used AP ratio.

most likely the mass bonus of t2 equip is less then using only 2 or 3 t4 launcher.

accu expander only extend your buffer by a few points (like adding armor plates).

recharger extend your tanking ability over time. IMHO small accu expander are semi-useless and medium ones are only a choice for bots (smaller then mech). Even on a tyrannos with the worst accumulator size, the recharger has much more impact while having less mass and lower fitting costs.

paired with injector or energy transfer, accu expander is even worse...

nope, but the key to stability is to have your accumulator above 50%.

hypothetical:
use a 250AP charge on a bot with 500 AP and 30AP/s peak, or use it on one with 1000 AP and 30 AP/s peak when you got neuted down to zero and have to rely on a shield for defense.

the 500AP bot needs one charge to get instantly back to its peak, and is above 50% and any hit on his shield will push his accumulator back into its peak.

the 1000AP bot needs two charges to get back into its peak, and as long as its not there , any hit on his shield will push it down to worse recharge rate.

Tanking is about how much fire you can sustain for a longer period of time.

a med t4 accumulator expander will double your light bots/assaults accumulator, thus also doubling your AP/s rate (100% increase), while sustaining a reasonable small recharge time. (less then 3 minutes base)
on a mech or heavy mech the less then 20% increase of AP pool per accumulator mod will alternate your AP/s rate exactly by that with dimishing returns.

fitting a recharger on your mech with a big AP pool and 8 minute recharge time will have a far greater effect on your AP/s rate: reducing the time by 17,5% mean increasing the AP/s  by 1/0.825 = 21%, escalating returns if you can accumulate those effects (2 rechargers, or bot bonus)

since shields are tied to recharge rate and accumulator pool, you can get more HP/s with shields then you could get from repair since tuning nerf. Repair always needs a good junk of your AP pool to work, cycling at ~6s. Shields work with any amount of AP and accumulator recharge is cycling at 3ms...

not really - the difference is so small that you need to prefer 459 AP more accumulator over
-lower fitting costs,
-less mass and
-15s faster back to full power (check neut cycletime!)

tyrannos mk1

plain:
2600 AP / 84.0s = 30.95 AP/s average, 61.90 peak

1 t4 accu:
3159 AP / 84.0s = 37.61 AP/s average, 75.21 peak

1 t4 recharger:
2600 AP / 69.3s = 37.52 AP/s average, 75.04 peak

Aux Extenders increase your max amount of energy leaving recharge time untouched. As a result, you're get more AP per second.

Whats the stategy behind injector charges?

I understand the point your making about getting above 50% with an injector, but wouldn't that be the case with larger acc pools if you applied the injector sooner, that is don't wait til it's at 0, apply the injection at the point where it will still bring you above 50%?

But, I could be wrong in how the injectors are used, is it more effective to wait until your acc is at or near 0?

that is still a realy long time in a fight.
