Thank you so much for using the code brackets.

I'll give it a test and see what happens.  Just to question things here, but have you guys tried anything other than the Sathanas and a Ravana?  Maybe an Orion?  The Colossus?  Etc?

try adding the "supercap" flag to the weapon, otherwise it stops at 75% strength

GE has most of them in the part of the FAQ he did for me. But I didn`t spot the supercap one in there.

Strange...I tried the entry and it definately did not kill the Sathanas.  A Lucifer went down in a couple of minutes but the Sathanas would hold steady at the aformentioned 75%.  It seems like the supercap tag is the cause for this...only bombs and beam weapons seem to be able to break it.

little known fact
"big damage" is to "huge"
as
"supercap" is to... "supercap"
yes, "supercap" is both a ship flag and a weapon flag

OK thanks guys for the helping.

EDIT: It works fine with the "supercap" flag.
