[n00bmode]No! Nobody here would sink so low as to powergame at that level would they?[/n00bmode]

How did this suddenly change to armor thread?

When we started talking about powergaming and how some people like to build millions of MesonDeathRayKillerLaserThings™ and kill each other with them. :D:D

Zeronet: It wasn't that I was using plasteel- that was, according to the OOB, essentially what most armor IS. It was that I put two or three layers of armor on- and wearing 2 flak jackets is gonna stop more than one.

Alright, layered armor is "Heavy Armor" under ship mods.

Your drill missiles would be an L1-4 Missile with "Armor Bonus" to show that they drill through the hull.

That simple.

Damn it Jim, it's a recruiting thread not a balance one!

[Stryke 9]

Not exactly, for reasons explained in the deleted posts. Drill missiles don't explode, they just penetrate the hull and let all the air out- much nastier, but useless against shields.

Heavy armor was one layer of armor. I had 3 heavy armors, and a carrier with 8-yard thick hullplates.

I thought there were rules against powergaming...

A new ship just exited warp! It's the Steak!

[Crazy_Ivan80]

is enough...

This thread is rapidly descending into SPAM (although fun-SPAM) which we cannot use.

Question about NW can be made here or in the NW forum.

Enjoy

I was going to join NodeWars, and I had a nice little republic dreamed up, but I don't understand the rules. and I don't really have enough time anyways.
Oh well

[Zeronet]

Time? If you start in the U systems you dont have to catch up on anything . Rules are easy to understand if you read em through.

Cease and desist.  You're getting annoying!

"Getting" annoying implies a state of non-annoyingness prior to said remark...

Then the weapon has a shield penalty and radiative bonus added onto the armor bonus. That describes a weapon that doesn't penetrate shields, drills into the hull which causes damage, and harms the crew. (lack of air)
L1-4+Armor Bonus*Protracted+Radiative Bonus+Shield Penalty

Heavy armor stands for any type of armor layering you do on the ship. Heavy Armor*protracted is what you're talking about, and that's as heavy as it will go. (if you have a destroyer, it's Delta rated armor with Heavy Armor*protracted as the max you can go, period)
