Default Re: SE-5 : Batteries & weapons

I guess maybe I'm unclear on what you consider a damage type?

To me it seems something that does something specific, or targets something specific. Like Boarding Parties because of Boarding Attack ability. Or something like Crew Conversion, which has the the ability Change ownership. I'm just curious if we actually create some thing like deadly jello, that makes you fat, or something...can you code that in, or are you just using what is already coded to 'simulate' this effect...

A damage type is an effect like fire, acid, lighting, conversion, what have you. Plus how that effect does the damage to the ship. As for the batteries powering the weapon that isnt a different damage type, and I think Phoenix may be on the right track, would be nice if it does really work.

Also thanks for the list Fyron...
