      I created a new weapon in a plug-in, that won't damage anything. You can buy it and use it, but the ship takes no damage. Help!!!

      😕

      It is a beam weapon.

      what do you mean? Is it supposed to deal no damage? If it is, then you set the energy and mass damage to 0. If the weapon's supposed to deal damage, then all you do is enter a positive, non-zero integer into the energy and mass damage fields. Mass damage deals 1/4 damage to shields, but full damage to armor. Energy damage deals full damage to shields, and 1/4 damage to armor.

      That's the case in Escape Velocity and EV Override, but it's different in EV Nova; in EV Nova, energy damage applies full strength to shields and not at all to armour, and mass damage applies not at all to shields and full strength to armour.
