Take the temporal racial trait and find out. Or click here

If some temporal race is pestering you, click here.

That second click won't help much, but I think its funny

Thanks! Your site has some real good info on it but you need some kind if internet booster to speed up the download.

Hmmm... not my site. It belongs to LazarusLong if anybody -- we all have edit access. It gets slow sometimes, but not often.

from newbie faq:

6.3.3 Shields Skipping. As is well documented the "Weapon Only" damage type skip all shields and armour and get straight to the component.

Can I have a clarification. Does it ingnore the protective shields in place during combat (IE 600/600),? Or does it skip the shield/armor components and hits the target component after existing shields are depleted. ?

Both. Neither. Umm what was the question again.

OK. No shield stops the weapon destroyer. It only damages weapons on the ship. So it ignores shields, armor, shield generators, the bridge. Shields remain in place when it's done.

The shield disrupter does the same, bypasses all shields, destroys the shield generator, and ignores all other components. Shields are depleted as the generators disappear.

For balance reasons, the engine destroyer doesn't skip shields, it does damage shields, once they're gone, it burns out engines leaving an immobile hulk -- that can still shoot back if it has supply storage.
