The torp hits at the start should inflict very similar amounts of hull damage to the shot that drops your shield facing, but any shots after your facing completely drops should be ~4 times at strong. Redistributing shields should allow the 'hits on minimal shielding' test to be repeated a few times without too much fuss.
It's easiest to see in PVE versus Borg Heavy Plasma Torps - assuming that you survive being hit by one of these shots, the numbers you see in the damage log should be pretty accurate. (I seem to remember that any hits that manage to completely kill you don't properly display their resistance-reduced numbers in the combat log, but it should be easy enough to survive a shot from Normal Non-Tac Cubes for testing purposes...) |
Looks like it has.
After the remaining damage is deducted from your Shield Capacity in part #2 (b): above, it now gets multiplied back up again before it's deducted from your Hull Capacity. (The upshot is as pottsey5g said earlier: only the "remaining" shield capacity currently applies that 75% Kinetic resistance figure)
Results below.
[Note the two red numbers in each test, the first is the total raw damage inflicted by the torpedo (before any resistances) and the second is what I assume was actually received by the ship (after compensating for the shield's 75% resistance). This second value is lower than the first due to shield and hull damage resistance buffs, the first of which is invisible, but the second of which was listed in my UI as 15.6%]
Torp Hit fully absorbed by shields:
[Combat (Self)] Nikki's Photon Torpedo dealt 719 (3087) shield damage to you.
[Combat (Self)] Nikki deals 343 (4062) Kinetic Damage to you with Photon Torpedo.
Covariant Shield @76 Energy
Total damage Inflicted: 719+343=1062
(Shields absorbed 719. 719*3=2157, so expected total would be ~3219)
----------------------------
Torp Hit partially absorbed by shields (Shields at 388 capacity):
[Combat (Self)] Nikki's Photon Torpedo dealt 388 (1665) shield damage to you.
[Combat (Self)] Nikki deals 1659 (3937) Kinetic Damage to you with Photon Torpedo.
Covariant Shield @76 Energy
Total damage Inflicted: 388+1659=2047
(Shields absorbed 388. 388*3=1164 so expected total would be ~3211)
Torp Hit partially absorbed by shields (Shields at 194 capacity):
[Combat (Self)] Nikki's Photon Torpedo dealt 194 (833) shield damage to you.
[Combat (Self)] Nikki deals 2355 (3775) Kinetic Damage to you with Photon Torpedo.
Covariant Shield @76 Energy
Total damage Inflicted: 194+2355=2549
(Shields absorbed 194. 194*3=582 so expected total would be ~3131)
Torp Hit partially absorbed by shields (Shields at 54 capacity):
[Combat (Self)] Nikki's Photon Torpedo dealt 54 (232) shield damage to you.
[Combat (Self)] Nikki deals 2913 (3724) Kinetic Damage to you with Photon Torpedo.
Covariant Shield @76 Energy
Total damage Inflicted: 54+2913=2967
(Shields absorbed 54. 54*3=162, so expected total would be ~3129)
----------------------------
Torp Hit not absorbed by shields at all (Shields at 0 capacity):
[Combat (Self)] Nikki deals 3369 (3990) Kinetic Damage to you with Photon Torpedo.
Total damage Inflicted: 3369

How it works has definitely changed in the last few months - when I last tested it (End of May? Start of June?) the kinetic damage inflicted on your ship was being reduced by 75% from any remaining shields, but leftover damage after the shields "ran out" got left at this reduced value and didn't get multiplied up again before it was subtracted from the hull.
I suspect this might have been stealthfixed either with Season 6 or in amongst all the other mine/torpedo changes in the patch on 9th August...
Either way, is good to know just how things are "currently" working!
