For example: So if u got weapon Vs. shield 0.999 and max dama 1000and other weapon

VS.shield 0.433 max dama 2000 does it do less damage to shield or near same damage to shield ????

Does someone knows how they ar calculated when made damage with weapons on ships ????

i dont know how they are calculated, but yes, the hibher the VS Shield # is, the more of the maximum weapon damage will actualy effect the shield (or armor)

some weapons will have veary high sield damages (like ion cannons) and all but crappy armor damage.

While others like blasters will have low shield damage, but high armor damage.

so.. jsut got giggles sake. Lets say that the VS S hield/armor # is multiplied as it is, against the weapons damage.

so to take from one of yours above.if the VS shield was 0.433, and your weapons max damage was 1000 Then we can "guess" that the damage you jsut did to the shield was a total of 433 out of the 1000 you fired at it.

but if that same weapon had a VS armor of 833, then you'd wind up hitting the armor (after the shield was down) for 833 of the 1000 damage you fired at it.
