Impact Penetration [Burst Spec] / IPBS
sc-047 Steady-Fire Reinforcement & Reactive-to-Accumulation Converter
A high-tier tactical logic that reconfigures the unit's inertial dampeners during specific weapon-fire animations. By converting kinetic impact energy into internal accumulation data, it grants the pilot near-total poise against interruption, turning a vulnerable firing window into a relentless offensive phase.
- Melee Resistance: NULLIFIED (0% Accumulation)
- Heavy/Standard Stagger: Reaction Negated (Fixed Accumulation Applied)
- System Bypass Threshold: Flinch-inducing hits trigger 50% Load
- Hard Limit: No protection against Knockdown or Tackle
| Incoming Impact | Reaction State | Fixed Accumulation |
|---|---|---|
| Melee Strikes | Negated | 0% |
| Heavy Ordnance | Negated | 90% |
| Standard Fire | Negated | 80% |
| Rapid Flinch-Fire | STAGGER RISK | 50% per projectile |
Operational Profile: Anti-Cutter Logic
This logic is specifically tuned to counter melee-focused interceptors. Since standard melee attacks generate zero accumulation during the activation window, the unit can ignore downswing-less melee trades and continue suppressive fire. However, the system's reliance on "Reaction Conversion" creates a fatal bypass: Rapid-Pulse Overload. Weapons that induce "Flinch" (e.g., Spray Missiles) bypass the main dampeners, causing a massive 50% accumulation per hit, leading to an instantaneous stagger.
Strategic Caution
⚠️ CRITICAL WEAKNESS: The logic only functions during the firing animation. It does not provide permanent Super Armor. Furthermore, it offers no defense against physical displacement via Tackles or Knockdown (Downswing) attributes, which remain the most effective methods to shut down an active IPBS cycle.
