Re: thinking: OA vs CA
Talking about armor - which is hit first: armor or shields? Any difference for OA or CA or scattering armor etc.?

Re: thinking: OA vs CA
Armor, as far as I know. But then again, what to I know?!
That question is rhetorical!

Re: thinking: OA vs CA
Unless the enemy is using shield-skipping weapons shields are always hit first. Shield regeneration from either internal regenerators or crystalline armor can make for complicated damage (re)distribution, though.
It would be interesting if emissive armor could work 'with' shields, wouldn't it?  A minimum threshold for damage to shields would make them much stronger. |

Yes, emissive shields would be interesting.

Basically it is how shields work in Moo2. I liked it.

Re: thinking: OA vs CA
Another exception is that mines ignore shields.

Re: thinking: OA vs CA
Back about Organic Armor. Is there a really big difference between pre-regenerating & regenerating after the battle?
I believe there is, in case OA is _not_ on your ship  |
