Battle Scar limit.
I have setting 'all ships' in battlescar limit option. but i can't see any battle scar decal on the scouts, intercepter etc. (like a small strike craft.)
only i can see battle scar bigger than corvettes. what's the problem?
Am I misunderstanding meaning of option?
what is the difference between "all ships" and "corvettes" in battle scar limit options.
both of them show battle scar bigger than corvettes.

many thanks!

I can only theorise that the damage model for fighter scars is flawed in that a fighter cannot survive getting a scar.

As Dennis pointed out; I think only larger weapons cause scarring which would make sense as a fighter would not survive against a fusion missile, ion beam or heavy gun.

Nope, I think it's based on the amount of damage - and fighters can't survive long enough.

King zero, dennis thank you for giving me the answer.
both answers could be right but dennis's theorise are more persuasive.
because small fighter's strafe could make scars on the capital ships. (not larger weapon. it must be depend on the amount of damage)

As author of that system - I agree. You _can_ get fighers with little bullet scars on them (there's a great shot on the forums of this if you can find it) - but it's pretty rare, and you're gonna have to pause mid-battle to see it. Usually only ships that can take a beating end up showing the signs of the beating for various reasons...

Could you please get your guys to tag you as a dev? It's disturbing.

Meh, I enjoy my near anonymity ;) They call me... 'ghost dev'... Eh, or not. Mostly just Dave.

OK, once we caught a dev here:

FORMATIONS!!!
I second that. Bitvenom, how far are you in that regard. I read your blog article about how difficult it is to implement that HW1 thing in thr HW2 engine. Any news?
