I require a detailed tutorial on weapons lol. Compared to SEV, modding SEIV was a friggin piece of cake.

The SEV wiki was not of much help

Was this article not helpful?

Will component placed in the ARMOR slot always act as armor and soak up all damage ? Because i had components placed in ARMOR but without the actual "component is armor" tag/ability and the ship did not suffer any hull damage before the actual armor component was destroyed.

It would appear so.

Without knowing which bitmap file you are using, or what the bitmap effect is set up like (eg: RGB brightness levels), its hard to say.

Yes, outer layer is a magic wall over the inner layer. We referred to this effect when discussing SJ's directional armor setup in GG mod.

Yes, that will cause that damage type to "leak" 20% of the damage through each armor component.

IIRC that functionality is still broken. Given the much more complex relation between tech areas and components than in SE4, its probably going to take quite some work for Aaron to fix.
