Armor Regeneration Question

[Loser]

From Fyron's Modding Tutorial
Armor Regeneration
Value1 = The amount of structure points regenerated per combat turn.
Value2 =
Valid in Components.txt, VehicleSize.txt

Having this ability with Value1 at least 1 allows the component to regenerate in combat. All of the regeneration abilities for all components with this ability is added up, and this many hit points of damage to such components can be repaired each combat turn. After combat, all components with this ability will be repaired.

About this ability:

If this ability is given to a Component, or to all Components, with a Value1 of zero, will those Components, no matter how damaged, be fully repaired after battle?

If a whole ship was made out of this stuff, would complete destruction be the only way to actually stop it?

[Suicide Junkie]

An ability amount of zero will not make it regenerate at all... you need an amount of one or more.

But other than that, yes.

So with a Value1 of zero they will not regenerate during combat, but will components with this Ability destroyed in combat restore themselves afterward?

[General Woundwort]

Only damage points can regenerate - destroyed components can only be replaced by Repair Modules or Space Yards.

"Only damage points can regenerate - destroyed components can only be replaced by Repair Modules or Space Yards"

This is incorrect. Organic Armor will regenerate between combats; the blown off sections come back. (does the same thing IN combat too, just more slowly)

Even if Value1 is zero?

[Phoenix-D]

If there is -another- component intact with Value 1 greater than 0, yes. If all the components have a value of 0..I'd have to test that.

[Loser]

one intact component would be necessary to keep the entire ship from being destroyed.

And one component with a Value1 greater than zero in the ship design would be acceptable. But we couldn ot be certian that component would be the Last one busted. If all the Value1=0 compnents regenerate... well that's exactly what I would be looking for.

They do not all have to be "armor" componenents, you know.

Hmm sounds like something useful for Monst--
