1.10RC3: Brother Munroe's expose of broken penetration mechanics

[neph]

Brother Munroe finally got fed up & produced a video identifying bugs & weird behavior we've all been noticing for a very long time.

 

  

 

Penetration mechanics are broken.

1. Citadel layering apparently applies to unarmored portions of the ship outside the citadel.

2. Penetration overflow means guns that are too good do no damage even (especially) at point blank range.

3. Resistance stacking means you can become nearly immune to enemy fire.

4. Deck hits are extremely common at point blank range, especially when the enemy has rolled towards you. These magically deflect enemy fire.

Please watch this video, acknowledge the issues, and fix them before releasing 1.10.

These issues have been present for a very long time.
