Troops in Proportions Mod

[PvK]

The engine thing is what I was thinking might sort of work, but actually I'm afraid that the way SE4 resolves ground combat will probably torpedo that. Yes it would bypass shields, but engine damaging can't damage non-engines, and units are either alll destroyed or partial damage is applied, so the weapons applying the killing damage might have to get through the shields anyway.

Using unphased shields would mean that suddenly APV Phased Poloron Beam would be an AA weapon, which I guess isn't a big problem. Might work. Would need a bunch of tedious testing to see, and to try various things and try to determine what effect they were actually having.

I'm a bit worried though that ground combat's "pig pile" damage system might make it hard to really pull off, though.
