Lafiel Reviewing the configs again, nope, that can't be it either. The PenetratingOperational value is 7000, Quantum Torpedos have 8000 yet they don't destroy shield generators when hitting there arcs.
Also, I found this thread: https://forum.cosmoteer.net/d/440-shield-hit-damage-crash
There, Walt is even directly asking you wether the damage to the shield generator part is intentional or not, to which you never directly answered. But as there was that bug in the past, is the damage to shield generators maybe an accident?
Also, he's stating there is a function to directly inflict damage to the generators in the code (which he apparently found), THAT is what I'm searching for and trying to disable.
There must be something different about Photon Torps as they are the only weapons doing this.
