Difference between Vidar, Zetki and Lavan avionics?

[Alegost]

Can someone explain it?
For example, I have 3 type of Hull Weave and the Zetki one has 7 ranks(others only 1).

Biggest differences you already found out yourself: different avionic costs and max upgrade levels.
From what the wiki gave me, I think you can say that Lavan is the lower tier and Zekti is the highest and most costly version of the mod you can find, with the other house in the middle(I forgot its name XD). Some mods are also exclusive to one House.

[JebKerman]

Well I'd assume some are better than others. Pretty sure Lavan is better than Vidar. Haven't encountered Zekti yet myself but I'd assume if it doesn't already it'll surpass Lavan once upgraded.

I'm not quite sure that's all there is though - I notice a change in different directions (same weapon - different house). Carcennox Vidar->Zekti is higher accuracy, LOWER crit, higher damage, stat, and accretion. But for the Cryophon also Vidar->Zekti is crit increase and accretion only. no damage change. Still kinda unclear how they work yet. Any new perspectives/facts?

Untill someone compile and made spreadsheet on those items. We have no clue.

[PenolAkushari]

heat accretion is the heat gain per shot. so if it's higher, it's worse.

It is in the patch notes:
HOUSES

Meet House Lavan, makers of Railjack technology from the Old War. Specializing in engines and shields, House Lavan focused on delivering rock-solid technology at a lower resource cost. Their components were the backbone of the Orokin fleet but lacked the customization required by elite units.

Meet House Vidar, makers of Railjack technology from the Old War. House Vidar were material specialists that made a name for themselves with the shrewd balancing of performance and cost. The ability of their hull and armor components to withstand extreme elements earned them the loyalty of specialized units.

Meet House Zetki, makers of Railjack technology from the Old War. House Zetki's components were considered the best of the best. However, their exorbitant resource and energy requirements meant that only the fleet's most important vessels could be outfitted with Zetki technology.

Lavan = Above basic and low cost
Vidar = Balance and mid range cost
Zetki = High performance but high cost.

A spread sheet is in the works in the Wiki

The only difference is I scrapped some zekty modules because the "genius" who designed this could have used different colors for different rarities... Zekti weapons overheat pretty fast but they can kill something on higher levels, if you can afford their absurd resources...

[IFearSnowman]

honestly, if its just so that Zetki is the "best" then DE fd up, it should always be a balance and choices

Half of my avionics are Vidar, the other half is Lavan: all my gunnery is Zetki, and my main components are Vidar/Lavan.

Zetki has the best dmg output on guns compared to other houses, but when it comes to main components, Zetki salvage that I got seems to lose to other two houses in stats. Now that may as well be due to poor rng. I am yet to receive any useful Zetki avionics.

My guess it they are just 3 tiers of gear, however each might be best in different components. For example best guns are from Zetki, best main components are from Lavan, etc. I can't see the Zetki being best of the best and being every single component of your railjack.

Zetki on paper has the best stats but it comes at a high cost. Example, I have a Zetki Bulkhead Avionics at rank 15(counting the +2 in the grid upgrade) and it gives me +276% Hull, giving my RailJack 3,760 Hp!

Right now we are very limited in Avionics Capacity and Zetki Avionics are such a capacity hog it might not be worth using more then one at a time.

I have a maxed Zetki Bulkhead in a maxed slot, 6060 HP. If Pustrels weren't so rare I'd make more components and see what's best for myself. Unfortunately, I have over 10K Carbides, Diodes and Copernics but only about 1500 Pustrels.

Where did you get that bulkhead? Finished both earth and saturn without finding any new ones...

You're wrong on the avionics capacity, take my railjack for exemple, with a reactor Mk2, he can get 74 in total (30 base +44 from reactor)
I got many mods like hull/armor/speed/turret dmg to max rank (zekti type)
Plus, even without the reactor, I managed to get 6k HP with 2.5k armor and some turret dmg with only 30 capacity.

Grid improvement is the key

[vRunn3r]

In simple terms look at it as T1 T2 T3. Some houses hold T3 some T1, T3 mods drain more then T1. When you build your Railjack the reactor is the one that provides you with mod points capacity to equip the avionics on. It's useful to have T1 when there are heavy drain of the over T3 avionics.
