Augmenter Tweaking

Important:

As of the patch on March 11th 2017, Augmenter Tweaking has received significant changes. The skill now has a maximum level of 10 and grants 0.5% tweaking per level. As a result of this change, the stats on all ship augmenters have been doubled, which means they now provide the same benefit as they would have done with Augmenter Tweaking 25 prior to the patch. Players who had already trained the skill before the patch automatically received a certain level of the new skill depending on their skill in Augmenter Tweaking, up to a maximum of 5 in the new skill if you had Augmenter Tweaking 25. This change was put in place to make Augmenter Tweaking more of a luxury skill than an essential (and quite expensive) one.

The new Augmenter Tweaking skill can still trained in The Acropolis.

Each level of Augmenter Tweaking (abbreviated Aug Tweak or AT) up to level 25 gives a 4% increase to all augmenter stats, totaling to a 100% increase to all augmenter stats at level 25. You can get up to level 2 by completing the missions at a AI controlled space station in The Nexus called the Cadet Academy. Levels beyond 2 are obtained by completing missions The Acropolis.

For example, a ship with one augmenter equipped to grant +56% to some statistic would receive the following bonus, as a function of the player's level of Augmenter Tweaking, labeled AT.

$\left(1+.04\times\mbox{AT}\right)\times56%$

Similarly, if the equipped augmenter granted -56% instead, the resulting penalty is calculated as follows.

$\dfrac{1-56%}{1+\left(56%\times\left(.04\times\mbox{AT}\right)\right)}$
