Simple armor question

[AMF]

I'm still confused, but I think it's due to verbiage.

Let me take your example like this: if each weapon causes 50 damage, and each armor on their ship deflects/absorbs 10 damage, then how do these situations play out:

Situation One:
I have two weapons and both hit for 50 damage done each (total=100 points of damage). They have 5 armor, each deflecting 5 damage each. So, do I do:
a) 75 points of damage to the enemy ship (100-25), or
b) 50 points of damage to the enemy ship (2x(50-25))

Situation two:

I have two weapons and both hit for 50 damage done each (total=100 points of damage) just like above. They however have 20 armor this time, each deflecting 5 damage each. So, do I do:

a) zero damage (100 - 100 = 0) or
b) 60 damage (2X(50-20)) or
c) zero damage, but this time because each shot is 50 - 100 = 0.

I know I'm being anal, but I think it matters a lot in a certain game..

thanks,

Each shot counts. So if your weapon has a damage of 50 and the target has 2 armors which have the shield-generation from damage value of 5 each, than the 50 damage will be decreased by 10 damage, making a total of 40. Those 40 are then decreased by the 10 shield they generated, so in fact 30 points go through. At least thats what i think how it works...
