"x" Overloading weapons

No, they can't. Special types of damage override the damage percentages, so even if you give the weapon 100% piercing for all shield/armor types, it won't pierce.

It was more asked for the specific multiplayer instance I'm in, but I'll keep it in mind for future modding.

Is there someone I can suggest to Malfador to change the component weapons to be actually useful? The problem with having to deplete armor and shields is that the ship should be dead by then anyway.

se5 AT malfador DOT com is the best way to nag MM about items like that.

Did you try
Cannot Penetrate Any Kind Of Shields := FALSE
Cannot Penetrate Any Kind Of Armor := FALSE

?

Oops... I thought that they were using special damage types, but now that I look at it, they were just using special damage conditions...

Cannot Penetrate Any Kind Of Shields := FALSE
Cannot Penetrate Any Kind Of Armor := FALSE

Along with 100% penetration, this acts like the old overloading weapons did.

Sorry for my prior misinformation, I shall correct myself on the other forum as well.
