Topic: Hungarian math
So I cannot for the world figure out why (not how, why) extensions get calculated like they do.
As an example , I'll take locking time. I have this Arbalest, it's base locking time is 12.5 sec. My Accelerated target locking extension is at level 5, which would indicate a 25% decrease. But, showing info on an activated Arbalest (without mods fitted) shows 10 sec. The way I remember how to decrease something by 25%:
12.5 * (1 - 0.25) = 9.375 sec.
Or, you know:
12.5 - (12.5 * 0.25) = 9.375 sec.
Alright, so let's find the percentage difference between the old number (12.5 before extensions) and the new number (10):
100 * (1 - (10 / 12.5)) = 20%
So my question here, 5% per level reduction relative to what exactly?
(the actual formula is reversed, e.g. you simply ask: what value do I have to increase with 25% to get the base value)
