Specifically:

[9] Shields are no longer affected by AF <1. So they are better at absorbing armour piercing damage. AF>1 will be delt with as normal.

Wasn't the whole premise of Nova weaponary to allow a higher penetration but less damage? Now Nova weaponary becomes almost identical to photon weaponary for ships using shields, but does less damage to boot.

has the amount of damage for Nova cannon been reduced, as i thought it did the same damage as photon cannon with a better armour factor, its now 10 less, or was it always that?
Ro'a-lith
Was always that, iirc.

Yup nova weapons will have their AF dropped, i'll work out exactly what to later. Its just important to make things distinct, and i don't think nova weaposn were.
