Yes, I believe your thread was hijacked... sorry.
The Pyro, being an ammunition ship was modelled (damage-wise) to be anything but impervious.
In most circumstances it is a very sensitive ship. I think that you were probably just on the unlucky side to not cause catastrophic damage given that it appears you put quite a few DG rounds into it.
It could also be that your flak gun might have just given it that extra point or two needed to push it over the edge.
@Hakahura,
We are keeping the Pyro... it just won't be seen as often as it is now. It shows up far too frequently... this is against the grain historically speaking.
