Xiati battleship question...

Emissive armor would be expected to have that effect, but it is armor.

A possibility is the stacking of damage resistane modifiers from hard difficulty and the high level, large racial ship hulls.


For improvements to the physics, I reccommend P&Nism from:

well, this was on easy...

anyone else encounter this? don't really remember if every Xiati BB has been like this...

[Bazmecc]

ok, I think I've figured it out, but it's stupid if you ask me...

It is the emissive armour...I just attacked a Xiati cruiser, and kept attacking the same facing...it's other 3 sides with emissive armour had 23% each, so 69% total damage reduction to each of my shots at its hull...

why is the armour damage resistance helping the hull take less damage???

and do the mods fix that?

[Captain Kwok]

The emissive armor ability probably works by decreasing the amount of incoming damage, so as long as some of it is intact, it will reduce the damage the ship takes overall.

SJ's PN-ism series is essentially the default campaign, but with much better balance.

ok, but it doesn't seem to affect the armour the same, since i took that down quick. so if there was any damage resistance it was from whatever that one facing provided.
the other 3 armour sides didn't help the one i was attacking reduce any damage, but they help the hull...makes no sense to me.

how do you guys take down a Xiati battleship with so much emissive armour?...only solution i see is to blast most of the armour off before going after the hull

[Suicide Junkie]

Well, I don't play stock, so I haven't had that issue... I play flavours of P&Nism instead.

The supersized P&Nism is particularily nice. Beefy planets!

I've had that problem with the Xiati Battleship, too. On that particular hull size...
