Default Re: Organic armor fix

I believe he's speaking of the Crystalline weapons, ie Shard Cannon, that are stopped by shields but not armor. I haven't seen P&N2 yet, but if P&N1 is used as a reference, Shard Cannons aren't too much of a threat in the latter stages of the game because of the HSGs, and the overall toughness of ships. A battle between a ship with heavy shield depletion/shard cannons and a ship with more "standard" weapons would largely be an even match (probably one favoring the "standard" weapon ship) because the "standard" ship has much more weapon power.
