Bugs not yet mentioned:

• Organic armour doesn't regenerate
• Religious Studies level 2 (the maximum) doesn't provide anything
• Solar Sail limited to one level only? C'mon! Updates should be available - albeit requiring multiple levels (e.g. 5 levels of Stellar Harnessing).

Cannot launch sattelites or mines from planet if there are fighters on planet. Fighters launch instead. Worse yet, fighters cannot land on planets anymore, so they are not recoverable.

[Captain Kwok]

Organic Armor does regenerate.

[AngleWyrm]

Organic armor doesn't regenerate once it is fully damaged.

It only regenerates during the very short time window between 1% organic armor damage and 99% organic armor damage. During that time, it will recharge several hitpoints. It will also reach 100% damage and stop recharging altogether in just a couple hits -- often just the first strike.

And because it's so big, you get way more hitpoints out of regular armor.

Of course it dosen't.
It would really silly if completely destroyed armor were to regenerate.

As for specifics, the regen ability from any particular armor will fail at 50% damage (as seen in settings.txt)
Kwok also determined that if the armor is given time to regenerate back to 0% damage (thanks to other armors on the ship, or the hull's regen ability for example), then the ability will reactivate and contribute to the global regen rate again.

[AngleWyrm]

It would also be silly if one Depleted Uranium Cannon shell passed through the armor and somehow made it completely useless.

What kind of weapons does the AI have by the time you get organic armor? How much damage will a frigate inflict in one hit?

[Phoenix-D]

That's a balance problem, not a bug.

That depends on if you view the ship's complement of organic armor as distinct components or as a regenerative skin (akin to playing as zerg in starcraft). I view it as the latter.

[AngleWyrm]

Is it possible to create a component that can regenerate itself even after it has been 100% destroyed?

I was taking about the destroyed stuff *causing* regeneration. Like nuking a vampire.

Certainly other, undamaged components could (re)generate replacement armor to fill the hole.
