No Shield Pierce Beta (1.8F)
For about 10 days, we will be experimenting with removing the "skips shields" tag from all ship weapons. I really like the idea of weapons ignore that shields, but sometimes they can end your game as soon as you go around a corner (planet, nebula, etc.).
[h2]So in this beta, the machine gun, hull raker, railgun, spinal driver, and neutron beam no longer pierce shields. Their damage has been increased to offset this.
[/h2]
Anyone can join the beta branch, it won't break your saves (you can even start a new game if you want).
Just go to Settings>Properties>Betas>betafromnowon
