I made some strange observations in the combat simulator when using special damage type weapons against units:
- shield depleter seem to have no effect at all: no shield depletion occured.
- nullspace weapons and weapon damaging weapon seem to have no effect at all on weapon platforms.
- nullspace weapons seem to work correctely agains sats, but again weapon that damage only weapons seem to have no effect.

Anyone made similar observations?? Is this a bug or a feature???

I'm 95% sure that this is NOT true of null-space weapons. I use them a lot and they seem to damage weapon platforms just fine.

Remember, in 1.49 you must do enough damage to destroy the weapon platform before the game will actually show that damage (by killing the platform). Shoot three or four null-space weapons in a row at a planet with platforms and you will see.
