New gear score system questions

Hey all,

I have few questions regarding the new gear score system that has been introduced last week.

1) The definition of gear score..

Now let's see two pictures my friend sent me:



a) How is their gear score so similar (difference is less than 100), when obviously the second loadout is A LOT stronger?
b) Does gear score still represents how powerful your ship is? Considering this?

2) Pictures from my loadout:



Just look at the gear score of individual items. I understand that turbo perks add a lot to gear score calculation, but my question is..
a) Is it correct, for a T5 rare turbo to have a better gear score than an epic T4 blast, with the difference of over 200?
b) Are fire damage perks undervalued by the system? (Even my legendary blast level 10, with all special event perks has higher gear score than my epic one, but definitely isn't stronger..).

Thanks for reading.

 

Excellent questions!

 

and one bonus question (maybe it was fixed in last update, not sure)
why does gear score decrease after item is evolved to next tier?

 

My lvl 40 ex cannon has less GS than my lvl 32 bolt despite being 8 levels lower and having a better perk on it

 

If only somebody would know to answer, LOL

 

I've never noticed that! If that's the case, it's super weird.

 

will upload fresh screenshots of my evolved t3E blast

edit:
they fixed it
but this happened after update

 

That's exactly what I mean.. maybe we're missing something, idk

 

Bump.

 

I think you have to admit that it's better than what it was before though.

But I still agree that same-rarity perks should have extremely similar (if not identical) gear scores. At least within the type (%-based vs. flat-stat).

 

Agree, I would really love to hear some information about this from devs themselves, because it really makes no sense now.

 

Question, I’m not sure how this gear score is adding up, I am flyhighone in the screenshots. It looks to me like the ships that I am against have more powerful weapons, however, my gear score is higher. What am I not understanding? Thanks.

 

I don't know what to say..




Is it right that both add the same amount of GS, considering the fact, the event perk adds a lot more into the item?
