The Steel Path multiplies shields by 6.25 rather than the intended 2.5
In theory, Steel Path multiplies the final armour, health and shields of enemies by 2.5 (+150%), however that's not true for shields. I have noticed this by accident in the simulacrum, so I ran more tests on different enemies and different levels, also on an actual mission, and every test showed without doubt that shields are exactly 2.5 times larger than expected, so 2.5² times non-Steel Path shields. This means that if a level 100 Crewman has 7682 shields, in steel path he has 48016 instead of
I don't remember where I said it, but yea. I "discovered" it late June this year. Fun fact! Eximus get to triple dip for 15.625x shields in addition to their modified scaling formula.
The dipping bug has likely been a thing from the Introduction of Steel Path as far as I can tell from old footage.
This video from ~3 months after SP's launch gives figures that line up with the shield modifier double dipping.
Some context before I explain the damage numbers matching:
