I don't want partially damaged components to have penalties. It would require a lot more coding than the benefits it would create. Especially since you'd almost have to make it so the modders could...

Re: Null-Space superior to Phased??

Reload of two? Ouch. That drops the PPB quite a bit. It would only be useful then against normal shields. Keep in mind that the Meson BLaster rates a 1.5 compared to the PPB's 1.67 (2.0 at range...

That is correct Nyx. Also, any OA already destroyed prior to the start of battle will not provide any regeneration during the entire battle.

Re: Does the AI use mothballing?

On the AI not using mothballing: If at no other time, the AI should mothball colony ships when it doesn't have any planets to colonize. This should be a simple and easy coding fix.
