Default Re: Mod mod mod....

Whether smaller armor actually gets hit first or not is tricky to test. I think we need an answer from MM on this.

Else people, like me, may think it is good to have an improved MC with a lot of struct to be very resistant (which is very bad idea, only protect better against MC Only weapons).
Actually, it is. It is a design choice tradeoff. Do you want your MC to be resistant to computer viruses, but then risk being more susceptible to being hit first once shields and armor are down? Having choices like that is always a good thing. That's why most leaky armor mods have several types of armor available. That's why Proportions has an insane number of choices like this (normal vs. efficient engines).
