    when fitting perks to my shields should I add the +50hp or +5 defence? I have mk3 (soon to be 4) defender with 3 shields (4 when I level up) and was wondering would +50hp per shield (so +200 all up) or +5 defence (an extra 20defence) be better? When I upgrade the ship to mk4 and attach the shields (no perks) I will have 4580hp and 33 defence. So basically is it worth 4780hp and 33 defence or 4580hp and 53 defence?

    Thanks

    Hp. Defense perks are pointless in their current form. 53 defense means a 1000 point shot hits you for 947 instead.... One day they will be overhauled. But for now it's hp perks or nothing.

    Thanks :)
    But if I had 4580hp and got hit 4 times for 1k hp i would save 212 hp instead of the extra 200 from perks, why wouldn't it make sense to go this way? (I know end result would be I die regardless just curious)

    I'm pretty sure the typical ratio between defense and shield HP perks is 10. Like you said, the uncommon ones give 5 defense and 50 HP, respectively. So you'd need to be hit over 10 times for the defense to start being better, and that's only if none of the hits are burning (because that ignores defense, appearently).

    Defense if you are a shooter or Defender. :)
    Reducing that mortar blast radius damage is very very nice.

    If you play any caronades defense will destroy them.
