Well, you see, you need to apply the Armor to ships in order to get results. Ships don't get an armor class automatically (Because that would be silly), you have to make alterations to ships.tbl or use the set-armor-type sexp in a mission.

+Tech Description:
XSTR("Affectionately nicknamed 'The Bat' by its pilots, the GTF Ulysses is a well-designed craft that has had a far longer useful life than its engineers ever imagined. Developed jointly by Terran and Vasudan contractors, the Ulysses was first deployed near the end of the Great War. Its excellent maneuverability and high top speed give it an agility that pilots love, but at a cost of thin armor and a small secondary weapon loadout. The Ulysses is a better choice for offensive missions than defensive ones.", 2944)

"The Subach-Innes HL-7 is a xaser weapon, firing an intense, highly focused beam of x-ray emissions. Until the Shivans appeared with their shield technology, these weapons were considered an unnecessary and costly extravagance. But Great War dogfights against Shivan craft quickly taught the Allies that their ships didn't stand a chance unless they could punch through shields. The HL-7 works superbly against shields of all varieties and has become the standard issue Primary weapon for all Terran fighters and bombers.", 3245)

"The GTW ML-70 Morning Star improves upon the performance of the Flail gun, which was developed during the Great War. The original Flail was too expensive to mass produce, because of its limited usage/effectiveness profile. Recent advances in high-temperature optics enable the main focusing chamber of the Morning Star to produce a much more coherent beam, increasing its range and damage levels. This comes at the expense of somewhat higher energy requirements, however.", 3265)

I haven't tried setting up a proper mod yet; I hope it won't be too much work to use the mediavps stuff.
Now I just need to figure out a way to test if the AI can use "sliding" or if it can only do forward/back and turning. Being able to thrust up/down or left/right is extremely useful for avoiding enemy fire while taking out turrets but it might be unfair to let the player do it if the computer can't.
