Stacking Penalty

So using 5 web drones at 5% each is only actually going to reduce velocity by about 15%

Probably less than that.

Here is another thread where things led to a similar question.

Most Annoying tackle fit ever?

Diminishing returns would definitely be the problem here. I am a little fuzzy on this, but I think webber drones are subject to the same diminishing returns paradigm that apply to modules to when affecting the same stat. That paradigm is this: First module that affects a specific stat (usually the one that affords the largest bonus): 100% of that module’s bonus is applied. Second module that affects a specific stat: ~87% of that module’s bonus is applied. Third module that affects a specif…

Each webbing drone has a web strength of 5%. So that means the first drone will apply only 4.35% webbing on the target, the second will apply 2.5%, the third applies 1%, and the last two drones are basically “wasted” in the sense that they are not really contributing any meaningful web strength.

(NOTE: Someone should probably check my math on this!)

Edit: To answer your most likely next question; yes, everyone is aware of how useless webbing drones are. To be honest, i don’t think the DEVs see a good answer for addressing this and neither do I without creating a lot more spaghetti code… which may or may not break other, unrelated, things because programming languages are fickle like that.
