Specialty armors don't work on units. Neither do shield regenerators.
It came to my mind, that does these work in DevNull mod? There is some more specialites for troops and other units than stock game.

No. The abilities are non-functional in ground combat, as well as non-functional on other units in general.

Re: "Physical Strength" racial trait
Certain abilities of special armors don't work on units. Regeneration doesn't work for organic armor, and shield recharging doesn't work for crystalline armor. The defense bonus of stealth and scattering armors most certainly do work on units. Cloaking works but cause problems. I'm not sure if the 'scanner jammer' ability works or not. Never tested for that.

Ship stealing is still very effective in a general sense, but most good players won't leave themselves in a situation where you will be able to steal colony ships from them. |

Re: "Physical Strength" racial trait
Actually most players do not protect their colonyships with any special means and anybody can steal them. Losing couple of colonyships marks very little in player economy. However, stealing colonyships is good way to make enemies and warships are most definately protected with self destruct device or security station or both. Or at least this is my experience on PBW.

Setting Colony ships to Ram is a good way to keep them from being boarded (with Simu movement). It will at least keep the tech out of others hands.
In Tactical combat mode I have have had one of my colony ships fight and take out a FF and a DD in the same battle. Pretty good for an unarmed ship. Just shows the difference between Tactical battles and Strategic.

Re: "Physical Strength" racial trait
You mean colonyship against frigate and dreadnought? Impressive. How in earth you managed to take them with one colonyship? Btw. tactic of RAM for colonyships is a good idea.
