Mine Damage: How Does It Work?

[Phoenix-D]

"That's true...but, assuming some sort of success in the battle (with, say, 3 or 4 high-end phased shield generators), if your shields held off the shots, it needs no repair. On the other hand, it's not much fun repairing 12 or 16 armor components. Nor fast"

But armor is cheaper, can be researched MUCH faster, and the weapons that skip it are racial and fairly weak. And unlike shields armor helps against mines.

EDIT: also, there is no "armor killing" component, and no weapon gets bonuses against armor (like the quad to shields Time Distortion Burst, or the Shield Depleter)
