sure this has been asked a million times....

Question about weapon platforms. I thought I remembered reading the weakest are destroyed first?(like comparing a WP with all shields or armour with one with just weapons)...I had thought I read WP's with weapons would be destroyed before the ones with shields or armour? What I'm wondering is when I build one should I include shields &/or armour on everyone or can I build an all shields & all armour ones & still have effectiveness?....also...doubting it much...but is there anyway you can tweek a .plr file without playing the whole turn over?

Nope.

Thank You...I didn't think so but it doesn't hurt to ask. Everyone is stumped on the WP question huh?

Maybe we just didn't realize we only had 35 minutes to notice and respond.

First-hit WP is generally determined by the total damage absorbtion capacity of the WP. Lowest damage resistance total are hit first.

Therefore, one tactic is to build small WP's which are all armor and/or shields, and then medium or large WP's which have weapons and maybe some armor/shields, but whose total damage resistance is greater than the all-defense WP's. That way, the weapons keep firing as long as possible.

Actually... aren't WPs destroyed randomly?
