It would really silly if completely destroyed armor were to regenerate.

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.

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

Captain Kwok · #3 November 6th, 2006, 12:31 AM

It might be possible if you set the operable damage amounts in settings.txt to 100% damage (101%?) or something like that.

Just give the hulls a small amount of regnerative capability. That should make the armors regenerate even when dead.

I made with some AIs a Share Combat Report teatry. When I tried to replay the battle I got a "Cannot replay this combat" message.
I'm not sure if it's a bug.

The thing to do is give all 'organic' hulls an innate regeneration ability. That way, there will be some regeneration ability even if all of the armor is damaged. Thus, organic armor will be more effective when installed in organic hulls -- as it should be!

Note that the Balance Mod does give organic hulls some regeneration ability for just this purpose.

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.

Oh, ok. What if all organic armor is destroyed?

Suicide Junkie · #10 November 6th, 2006, 11:30 PM

That's irrelevant.
You can add regen ability to things other than armor components if you want them to be regenerated.

To go with your example, if you were to say, skin your zergling alive, then the hide in your backpack isn't going to contribute anything to the zerg's regeneration capability any more.
The best way to model the starcraft physics is to give all the regen ability to the hull, and give the armors themselves the regen ability so they can be regenerated, but with an amount of zero. (or an insignificantly small amount if nessesary)
