4. Changed - "Only Engines", "Only Weapons", and "Only Shield Generators" damage types now penetrate both shields and armor.


Don't like the sound of that - it greatly strengthens Ionic and Tachyon weapons (which previously could have been blocked by armour) and effectively means they can't be defended against (aside from staying out of range).

If anything, component targeting weapons should be able to bypass armour (which has to have openings for weapons and engines) rather than shields.
