Star Wars - Fully Functional Lightsabers
1.1 Armour Pen Bug
So, someone else said that lightsabers seemed ineffective against armour (mechs) and I've been noticing the same thing, so I did a little testing today. I only did it 5 times each bc the results were pretty noticeable.

I started a new game using only this mod and the requisite libraries. I used a scyther as my test enemy, 40% sharp armour.

I tested with a normal monosword, average armour pen of 84% broken down by attack type into 18% - 90% - 90%, and with a lightsaber equipped with a Kaibur Crystal, 111% AP (36-90-117.)

The monosword was deflected 0% of the time. The Kaiburr crystal was deflected an average of 44% of the time. A synthetic red crystal (84% - 27-68-89) was deflected almost half of the time.

All of the log entries I saw indicated a slash, jab, chop, or lightsaber-tip being deflected, so I didn't see any of low AP blunt handle attacks - not on the monosword either. Even if some blunt hilt attacks were being recorded as "chops" or something, I wouldn't expect so many of them compared to seeing none on the monosword.

Jec, I know you're not active here much anymore, and that's obv okay, but my sense is this looks like a real bug, and if you or anyone else working on the mod decide you have time to look at it, I'm sure we'd all appreciate it. Thanks for reading :)
