She was talking about when we used to be able to over encumber our selfs.

I know for a fact I fight much differently at .55 enc than at .16 enc.

I don't know exactly what you mean, Zen says encumbrance does not affect the attack code if it is under one. How can you fight differently @ .55 and .16?

Zen isnt known to be the clearest with her answers either. Biggrin

Im saying one is more nimble and able to dodge more and possibly go more rounds and still win if you took your armor, helmet and belt off.

With new skill implementations encumbrance matters now.

i cant remember where i saw it, but zen said that it does matter, so every .01 encrumberence you can take off makes a difference.

and your linked thread was 6 years old lol...

19.) You hit for 1195 points of damage. XXX resists 2 for a total of 1193 damage.

From this thread, Zen clearly stated encumbrance matters for the combat evasion skill.

thanks for clearing that up. So encumbrance affects your evasion ability, good to know.

Ask OnwardTowardtheGlory. He, if I recall correctly, is a strong advocate of sheilds, and seems to have a pretty solid character.

Whatever leniency I extended to you and your comrades before, may have been in error. If you persist in halting our course, we will burn your pathetic fleet down to the last man.
