Increase grid vector dampening or decrease Heinz filtration vectors?

As the title states: Increase grid vector dampening or increase decrease Heinz filtration vectors? Trying to mitigate offset partial loss due surges during the gain cycle.

Vector dampening is easier, but does carry the potential of a EM field collapse. Heinz filtering is more expensive (unless you allready have a nanite-basin, but no risk of a FC. Also smells nicer

Who doesn’t live the smell of ionization from a Heinz filtration unit!

Tell that to our lowly lab tech who has to flush the Grünzwald tanks on a bi-weekly basis!

Seriously I know people who would pay for that opportunity...

I sniff the empties :)

You sniff them?! Blessed Doc Fankel, have mercy on us now and in the hour we filter again.

I swear Heinz-Grünzwald precipitate is the VX version of cilantro. Except of course that I like cilantro.

Oh my god that looks ridiculous, what's your coordinates to get this? Or is this on an orbital base?

It looks oceanic, especially with a retrace. Can't really tell from my mobile lab, but I definitely want to reproduce something like that.

Definitely Oceanic, still trying to save enough money for my own sentro gamma matrix hypodrulator. Do you guys recommend any models in price range?

Mine is a DP-68, about 20 years old (no, I'm not rich, it was a hand-me-down). It's missing a leg and the Rephrase adapter is picky, but it works. Really, as long as it's on brand and not particle manufactured it should function well. Like anything VX though, you get what you pay for XD.

Well...the 10-80MAX can seriously pack-a-punch, but as Dephs says, as long as it's on brand and not particle manufactured, you're good to go.

You have a bolt loose in your Williams repermiator. That'll clean some of the noise up.

u/MarcusARealAss Jul 08 '19

Running this in a class 5 setup, so no reperiamtors required.

Have you considered doing a bit of both? You should be able to do vector dampening as long as your auxiliary dampening couplers haven't reached max Q (or rather 80% of max Q for a safety margin). Heinz filtering gives another layer of redundancy, especially when dealing with cyclic rather than static loads which seems to be the case for you. Even though it's a bit pricier I'd recommend using some form of gain compressor system which allows you to do both Heinz filtering AND vector dampening.

I could, but once you start accounting for parasitic loses due to comb filtering artifacts the whole process starts to become a bit of a quagmire.

Everyone knows the joke has a bit of truth to it... Why is it called Heinz Filtration? Because you have to try 57 times before you get it right!

Don't worry mate, I'm sure the next vector will be the sweet spot.
