Modifier order

[Elestan]

Is the hull type modifier applied to damage before or after it is reduced by armor?

Also, how does armor work against beam weapon attacks?

[Draco18s]

IIRC, hull bonuses are applied first, then armor.

For beam attacks, I would guess that hull bonus and armor is applied and the resulting amount subtracted from the beam's total (for the punch-through beams, the spire beams function differently and it is irrelevant).
