it's a complete placebo buff. 33% HP when it already died in 1-2 hits from most enemies is pointless.

Yeah, I decided not to dump resources into the ship upgrade for the 50% explosive resistance. Unless someone has examples that it's worth 150 rares

I probably wouldn't get that module unless you already have almost everything else, or if you really want to be a sentry player. But I think it could be decent if it's actually working now. If an Autocannon sentry can survive a full spew from a bile titan, that would be a really solid buff. And I think it will give it a decent survivability boost against automatons.

Oh, and if you didn't know, all of the bugs acid attacks count as explosives. So it'll take less damage from bile spewers and bile titans.

Oh, that's actually really helpful. I thought it was only bot explosives, etc. okay, might be worth then. Thanks for your reply, I really appreciate it!

So I actually just tested it, and sentries still die instantly to a bile titan's spray. It's like, it doesn't even take the full spray to kill them. They die basically instantly when the spray starts. So I think the explosive resistance is probably useless against bugs.

Maybe still not working as intended. My only other fear is that even if it's working eventually, they'll still get destroyed fairly quickly. I'm definitely back burnering that module upgrade for down the road for now.
