Simple armor question

[NullAshton]

Crystal is diffrent. Lets say you have a 50 damage weapon, and they have a crystalline ability of 10.

50 damage hits. That does 50 TOTAL damage. The first time its hit, nothing happens, except 10 of the damage is put into shields(think this is how it works).

50 damage hits again. 10 of this is stopped by shields. That is 40 damage by the time it hits the armor. But 10 of THAT damage, is turned into shields, but it still hits the armor. So 40 damage is done.

We decide to shoot again, with a 10 damage weapon. That damage destroys the 10 shield points from the Last time, but no damage goes through to the armor. Since no damage hit the armor, nothing is done, and no shield points are generated.

Another shot, another day. 10 damage hits. But instead of hitting our nice shiny crystalline armor, it hits a regular piece of armor instead. It does 10 damage to the regular armor, but 10 shield points are still generated! This is confusing, but I guess all the armor is 'blended' together.

15 damage shot this time. 10 points is asourbed by the shields, and 5 breaks through. Thus, 5 damage hits the armor. Because only 5 damage hit this time, only 5 shield points are created.

I think that this is how it works, if anyone would like to correct me, feel free to do so.
