a simple solution to Assimilate problem.

simply create a cap for the energy drain per second. the cap would be affected by duration and efficiency in the exact same way as the base energy cost. then, instead of linearly scaling energy consumption based on damage, it would use an exponential function with the base consumption as the y intercept the max consumption as the asymptote.

here is an exponential function for reference:

Nitpicking time, isn't that a logarithmic equation?

Also, this is a pretty solid idea. Gives nyx the end-game scalability that DE seems to like adding lately, in order to band-aid the infinitely scaling armor while they work up a fix for it xD

also, because I don't play nyx, does the energy consumption from taking dmg while in assimilate apply to enemy and friendly fire the same way? (As in. I hear one tigris blast can drain the entire energy pool of nyx, but is the same true for, say, a bombard rocket that happens to do the same damage?)

no, it's exponential. this particular equation is y=-(2^(-x).
