Kind of like the lasers in Nexus.  Is it possible to have weapons that deal shield damage, but also penetrate shields?  Something like a +ShieldPenentrationAmount with 1.00 being complete penentration and .00 being shields absorb all damage. 

Would be useful for railguns and tactical lasers and such.

The visual effect like you get in nexus is not currently possible, but the damage calculations are

Oh, good to know.  So to use that on beams, would you set them to no-penetrate and then give them damage types?  In that case, would the shields light up?

EDIT:  Also, what does +Weapon Piercing Type do?  Does that refer to armor piercing, or shield piercing?

[Spoon]

Pretty sure the shields would light up like that, yeah.

Weapon piercing is (if I am not mistaken) the 'gutting' effect when a beam (or other defined weapon) completely starts to penetrate through a ships hull.

this, currently on the fix of the onmis mod i m doing, i have been on the need to put to all the weapons the no shields pierce flag, except for dominion ones precisely to achieve this effect properly, since i m not very friendly yet wtih armor tables.
