Energy Refractor confusion |
An Energy Refractor from the Crystalline Tech tree says it : "Decreases damage from incoming beam weapons by X%"
But what exactly does it consider "beam weapons"? Weapon Types can be Direct Fire or Seeker. Is a Depleted Uranium round considered a "beam" even though it is a physical projectile? What about specialty weapon such as Massive Shield Depleter? Its description calls it "Massive gamma radiation beam". And what about direct fire weapon such as Psyhic Whiplash? Is THAT a beam?
Thanks if you can help a very confused man.

i may be wrong but isn´t that info in the component display?!
Re: Energy Refractor confusion
It just says whether the weapon is a Direct Fire or Seeking.
Looking at the info within the game, I would NEVER have guessed that Computer Virus is considered an "Energy Beam". Its categorized as Direct Fire, damage type is Master Computer Only, but I guess somehow the Energy Refractor will reduce the naughtiness of bad codes. Maybe MM should install a couple ... just kidding. 
Re: Energy Refractor confusion
It works against weapons that have the "Beam" weapon delivery type. That means, more or less, every weapon that looks like a laser beam is affected.
