The problem is that the "bug" makes no sense at all when described as a bug.

Is this the start of #PortraitDiversity movement?  :P

So yeah, give it a break. If you want to go hardcore nitpicking, there are many other tiny things that break immersion aswell.

Just that two of the same portrait are having roles on the same planet x.x

I already am the kind of person that makes sure all of their officers have different portraits, lol.

The game was completed 8 years ago and we get a free expansion every year.

Arranging holidays in an embrace with the Starsector is priceless.

solar shielding is lame haha, especially since tactically beams are a threat to shield flux, not armor (if they are freely beaming your armor your already doomed!)

unless beam damage resistance stacks with armor ablation? is the beam damage resistance calculated before or after armor check? is it that 100 armor counts at 110 against beams? Or is it that 100 beam dps counts as 90 damage against 100 beam protected armor?

 how does armor damage reduction work in terms of beam, is it a flat reduction that eventually scales down as the armor is whittled away, so that a beam only does full damage against exposed hull? Hmmmm...

 also what was the maximum damage reduction that armor gives again, is it 80% (20% gets through?)

Maximum reduction is 85%.  Damage reduction from stat buffs is applied before armor calculation.  Solar Shielding's buff stays the same regardless of armor level.  For example, if a 250-damage beam is hitting your normal 500-armor ship, 80% is reduced and the final dps is 50.

With solar shielding, that becomes effectively 225 dps, with 81.6% reduction, for final dps 41.3.

Well with so little portraits, you are bound to find twins eventually at least XD.  I personally took Trashman's picture pack, that is with his Ironclads addon, and added it to my game. It is good to at least see more portraits XD

thanks!

interesting...so not entirely useless then. still, would rather have environmental armor shield against flux storms then solar flares, i mean really, even in SS+ there's just not enough suns for that to be relevant. if you flying close to suns, ur dumb lol

Thanks - looks like it's already fixed in the dev version :)


still, would rather have environmental armor shield against flux storms then solar flares,

Looking at the code, it actually does protect against both. Not 100% sure if that's just a dev version thing, though.

If thats the case, that made it soooo much more useful. Though, I'd reccomend renaming it to something to tell the player that it does protect against both.
