Detected a possible bug

Just finished the "Darkest Hour" campain and noticed that when the sithrak fire their Null Space Projectors, they don't ignore armour and/or shields. I couldn't determine if it was constant one way or the other as I had reduced my shields almost completely and was using 90% armour over shields. But when I had captured some and fired them back on anyone, they worked perfectly. I was expecting the Sithrak to be tougher than they were with those sorts of weapons but they weren't. Kind of disappointing...

Is this a bug? Or was it intentional?

You sure you didn't have something that gave resistance to shield and armor piercing? Like the pre-patch Scattering Armor?

Scattering Armor still gives resistance to shield piercing, and that seems to work against 'armor and shield piercing' weapons like Null Space. I pointed this out to MM several times, as have some others. Apparently he wants it to work that way.

Going by the patch, he does..

code:

---

9.  Fixed   - Shield & Armor Piercing Damage was having both Shield Piercing and

              Armor Piercing Resistance applied to it. Now, which ever resistance

              is higher will alone be applied to the Shield & Armor Piercing Damage.

Nope. I was using Phased shields with Emissive armour.
