Summary	0002493: armor.tbl calulations done after difficulty level damage scaling
Description	Like it says on the tin. Armor.tbl calculations are done after difficulty-based damage scaling, causing certain calculation methods such as +cutoff and +reverse cutoff to produced different results based on difficulty level when assigned to the player craft (and +additive/subtractive also don't behave as one would expect based off of tabled values due to this).
Additional Information	Perhaps a +scale difficulty: first/last/never/custom field that allows control over the interaction between the two would be a good solution (don't know how feasible it would be though). Custom being able to specify different calculations based on difficulty level. This would make armor.tbl even more versatile.

Nuke 2011-09-15 05:03 reporter ~0012818	im working on a solution for this, just an fiy.

Droid803 2012-04-15 03:07 reporter ~0013465	This can be marked as resolved as of r8627, as Nuke's armor.tbl fixes have been merged. :)
