      I'm a little new to plugin making, and I just created some ships. They show up fine and everything, except for one problem: in the get info box in the shipyard, the strength of the ship's armor and shields is truncated by one digit. That is, if I put in 1500 for the armor strength, it shows up as 150. However, Override is reading the number correctly from the ship resource - I don't think a ship with 150 armor (and 10 shields) could survive 10 or so Hunter missile hits, which my ship did. What is going on? Is my version of Override corrupt, or is it me?

    • no its not just you res edit does that with all ( i think ) copies it takes an extra zero (or what evr last digit) in otherwords it always cuts off the last digit.

    • You're corrupt. 🙂 The EV/O engines automatically divide the armor and shield levels by 10 in the game.

    • If you make the armor/shield values negative, they'll only be divided by 2, not 10.
      That's why the EV alien cruiser's got -3000 shields, it's like 15000

    • Thanks all.

      Kudos, Andrew M, I was wondering if someone would catch that slipup. 😃
