Transcendence

I was modding some better solar armors, and searched through the stdarmor.

there I found SEVERAL strange things. After some resarch I noticed George change the damageadjectiv for all armors completly which caused that he implemented a critical typo on worldshiparmor:

hbBonus= " ***, ***, ***, ***,+400,+400,+100,+100"


note: armors defined outside of stdarmors.xml, eg. dwarg and urak armor, are still defined the old way.

I also wonder why most armors lost their attribute to resists laser kinetic particle and blast damage. Although, I tested Heavy Ortthosteel and Worldship Armor and they absorb some low amount of damage, not specified in the .xml

btw, some curiosity with Hexphase armor:
P250 and P100 ar coded as &itP210HexphaseArmor; and &itP120HexphaseArmor;
P100 has 100 hitpoints should withstand 100 units of thermodamage but has an adjective of +25[%] for thermo ... should withstand 125 in real ?!

edit: I initally wanted to improve solar recharge but there is only a photorecharge="true"

I noted this in the domina powers thread- it seems they too are controlled from the main code the damage adjustement (damageadj)

Though it looks like the typo in that code is hbbonus instead of hpbonus

So that explains why a Xenophobe Worldship was easily destroyed by a single commonwealth station (4 Tev9's) in my last game

Looking at that armor in game, it was completely ballanced--thought something was wrong about that. I wouldn't buy any lvl 6 ballanced armor that don't allow shields.
