Damage Bonus Reversal

Looking for a more EVE-like weapon setup? Think shields should be kinetic deflectors like Star Trek and Mass Effect? Want your armor to be ablative instead of reactive? Don't worry! There is now a mod for that! What This Does: Shifts weapon damage bonuses. Armor is now considered ablative and shields deflect ballistic projectiles. Lasers now strip shields and struggle against ablative armor (dealing EM+thermal damage). Gauss cannons and artillery now destroy ablative armor (dealing kinetic+explosive damage). Plasma is something in between (dealing thermal+kinetic damage). PD, disruptors, arc emitters, missiles and torpedoes are unchanged. Compatibility Incompatible with anything that changes vanilla weapon stats (weapon_components.csv) or definitions (namely 00_leviathans_weapons.txt, 00_weapons_archaeotechnology.txt, 00_weapons_energy.txt and 00_weapons_projectile.txt). Definition changes can be overridden by another mod by placing it lower than DBR in the load order, but the AI may use anti-armor weapons to target heavy shielded ships and vice versa. Balance DBR is not intended to be a huge rebalance mod; it simply changes armor or shield damage and penetration values for suitable weapons. I've tried to keep its intrusion into game balance at minimum. This means that some weapon classes like point defense, disruptors and missiles, while thematically suitable for modification, have not been touched. Thus, DBR does not change weapon damage/range/accuracy stats. DBR does not modify any stats of point defense, disruptors, missiles, torpedoes and the majority of leviathan/NPC weaponry. However, the mod does change AI weapon tags and derived targeting priorities for modified weapons. Does DBR affect overall balance? It definitely does. I suppose that recent meta strategies will not work, but if you're worried about the meta, you shouldn't install this mod in the first place. It's more RP-centric.
