Just letting ya know.
Thats interesting

What specific effect are we talking about?
The information was passed to me in a voice conversation with vonHelsching. He has all the specifics regarding which does what.

Special effects were being directly discussed... specific effects I left to him as chief of damage modelling for GWX. VonHelsching and AG124 were quite thorough in damage model testing.

Let me clarify "breakage." By breakage I do not mean "CTD." I don't believe that is much of an issue here and you certainly understand working with effects. All that I am saying is that it may over or under-balance the damage absorption of various ships as modelled in GWX.

If this were not a true statement... we'd have been even more diverse with the effects than we have already.

I'm not saying your mod will not function. I'm just saying it may change the balance in an unrealistic fashion. (Nothing serious like a CTD etc.)
