Question about armor - skoko - 02-18-2008
Recently I heard that armor multipliers (armor upgrades) do not work on vanilla ships ...from several players that are on Disco for couple of years...
eg. 1 Torpedo shot (sunslayer) on full hull without shields = instant kill....
I fly Liberty guardian... so I am interested is this applies to that ship... and is this statement really true?
Thank you...

armor multiple your hull also on vannila ships,but when sunslayer hit your guardian, it has some blast radius in explosion and vannila ships have multiple hardpoints, and when more hardpoints are in range of the explosion( i think on sunslayer is that 16m) then all hardpoints have the same damage. for example 5hardpoints in range,then hit make sunslayers damage(i think somethin about 4800) x5 and that is something about 24000.
the same for nuclear mines.

Example: Starflyer: It has 2 destructible wings... If a missile with 300 dmg hits a starflyer, 300 damage goes to hull, 300 to left wing and 300 to right wing - 900 dmg together... If you had a non-vanilla ship, you would get only 300 damage..

This is why I no longer use Vanilla ships.

it makes the vanilla ships die at the whiff of a missile... its really frustrating. REALLY FRUSTRATING. eagle with mkviii armor gets killed by a single salvo of 2 missiles.

I think it's really how it should be....the bug or problem is only that the new ships don't have wireframes.
And btw... all my VHFs are vanilla ships (and I have 8 of them :))

i like vannila ships,and when you know that you can be destroyed by 1 mine or 1 torpedo, you try to improve your skills to avoid that.

Vanilla ships are different to fly... They have boosted stats, but die easier in mines...

Vanilla ships rule. It's how it should be.
New ships are bugged, not the old ones.
