Why not? Why can't CTG get it?

well actually if a ctg was to drop with it as the skill from ticket it could....

It can be added as original skill though I was told this skill only works on light/standard ships and CTG is heavy size... But then again Ironside or was it something else? Anyway, one of the heavy ships can have it as optional skill so perhaps the ship-size-restriction is a lie!

Dont mistake...on original skill slot(the one put with PAs) only light/standart ships can have on OPTIONAL skill slot (the one taken doing the right combo of parts when NC improving or building with parts) some heavy size ships can have it, like the Iron sides. So dont mistake ORIGINAL skill with OPTIONAL skill.

Cornelia what you are saying is confusing we know the difference between original and optional (although they are bad names/translations) but what are you trying to say? You mean only light/standard can have it as optional (with a few exception) but all can have it as original?

i think what cornelia trying to say is, only light/standard ship can have this skill as original skill. while heavy ship can have this skill as optional skill. cmiiw

Cornelia

No exceptions, only light/Standart ships can have it on original skill slot.......Heavy ships can have it only on optional skill and each ship has its own list of optional skills it can have, so only few ships can have it on optional skill slot, so its very few heavy ships that have it on that skill slot.....
if you dont know it then you dont know the difference on ORIGINAL and OPTIONAL skill at all. The same goes for Emergency accleration, altough more ships can have it on optional skill slot than Direct Hit prevention

I put the control tower and mast top on my light clipped as the formula shows but it did not work. Anyone have any ideas about that?

does it already have two optional skills on it? if so you can't put any more on there.

Lewis

Well as you put in Optional skill, sometimes it may tender to fail to add the skill, remember SB is a "production" skill and as all the other prod skills it could happen to get a fail production, your boat this case, also inform if the ship already has 2 skills before you added the FS parts, if its the case it wont happen to add the DHP to the boat...

I hope you find this informative and helpful

ship improvments don't fail like that he either already had two skill or got the parts wrong. I you see say a dura part says 10-30 dura 10 would be a fail 20 standard success and 30 a great success.

No, this, row assist and evade melee cannot be inherited.

So if you were to receive a critical hit on the bow with this skill on, how much of the damage would this skill absorb?

Cash

In my experience using this skill, absolutely no critical damage is done while this skill is active. I cannot tell you for-sure if the amount of damage is the same as a none-crit hit exactly but it has certainly saved my arse more than once now especially with Ganador bosses
