A AnotherDilbert Emperor Mongoose Aug 8, 2016 #2 Armour is not scaled, but damage is: Core said: A Traveller attacking a Spacecraft with a Ground scale weapon will divide its damage by ten (as always, rounding down). Click to expand... A ground weapon also loses any AP trait: Core said: Spacecraft Scale targets (see page 157) ignore the AP trait unless the weapon making the attack is also Spacecraft Scale. Click to expand... So any damage less than 10 still bounces off an unarmoured space craft.
