Computer Combat/Virus

Will the Computer Combat/Virus platform bypass armor? I know the shields have to be down, but I was unsure about the armor portion.

Thanks for any help

All Only XYZ bypass armour, and all of them, Only Engines excepted, should bypass shields.

Sorry but I did not understand your response, could you please restate it?

Anything that does specific damage (Only Shields, only Boarding Parties, only Shield Generators...) will skip both armour and shields. The only exception to that rule is the Only Engines damage type: that one is stopped by shields (with the 1.84 patch or better).

Some other Only X types, such as Only Boarding Parties and Only Security Stations, do not skip shields. These are not used in the stock game, however.

That's good to know: thanks for the information.
