Re: kamikaze ships
do engine destroying weapons also deal damage to shields? or do they only work if the shields are already depleted?
If I use the Massive Engine Destroying Weapon found through ruins, and the enemy has got 600 shield points, will my weapon (in case it hits the target):
1. deplete the shield and deal the rest (1k -600) 400 damage to the engines?
2. only deplete the shields?
3. do nothing?
thanx

engine destroeyrs deplete shields like normal weapons. I think #1 will happen but did't check myself.

Re: kamikaze ships
IIRC engine destroying weapons skip shields and armor (or have I missed a patch note...)

They no longer skip shields. Very important. |

I'm not wondering. It sucks (makes no sense, is silly, naturally has no basis in realism or science fiction, and is imbalancing) to have ships be able to ram stacks of units.

A ship rammed a satellite at least once in Babylon 5. In the final attack on earth. [edit]I have done it in tactical, but a friend tried in in Strat and lost the ships.
