The things is I do not have any problem whacking the armor. It's the hull. If I am not mistaken, if you destroyed the armor, the particular armor component goes to "Damage: 100%" and no longer imparts any of its effects either immesive/stealth/crystal etc.
Right now I can damage the armor & shields fine. Whats bugging me are the HULL. I mean my shots are doing like 5 points of damage per shot when supposed to do > 100 points. I nearly point blank to the damn star base so I get max damage...
Just wanted to know whether anyone else realised this before. I figured out the problem when I took a Pirate Merc mission where I am supposed the whack a Frigate but I took too damn long... I bLasted him consistently for 5 minutes (about more than 30 volleys and I had just cut hiss hull by 40%...
