I understand that they reduce or nullify damage, but how is it actually working. I recently bought the game and I find the information in the documentation a bit lacking.



I have found this link to some figures about weapons, but they are for 1.15, are there any newer to be found?

What are the common concensus, what weapon and weapon range are the best, and are there any now-brainer choices to be made.



Quite a lot of questions, I know.

Won't the specific values of Absorption and Defection do the same thing as the originals in Vanilla ES did?



I do feel like the changes to the defences in Disharmony went a little overboard in their modifying stats (Especially with very little updating UI's to show the ships stats) and would have preferred dedication to the new defence type that they all have, or sticking to the older one.



Rather then the confusing hybreed.
