I was wondering if armor types mattered when the damage is dealt to the shields.  Will 10 damage from anti-light against light armor (200%) do 20 damage to the shields?  Or will it only do that extra damage when the shields are gone and it's hitting the armor?  I think it would be neat if it was the latter.  It would increase the use of pretty much all ships.

    Also, does armor (let's say, 4 armor) reduce damage by a percent (4%?) or each hit by 4 damage?  And does this bonus only apply when hitting the hull and not the shields?

Thanks everyone.
