| Summary | 0000811: Zenith mirrors hp/received damage bonus | ||||
| Description | I'm not sure if I understand this correctly - but if zenith mirror has damage to self increased 40 times it would give it at Mk I about 28k effective health (1120000/40). Isn't this a bit small? | ||||

The raw numbers are often misleading. In this case even the reference tab would be since it doesn't factor the mirror's shot reflection, but you can see how durable (or not) it is on the reference tab of the stats screen. If you see an actual imbalance in practice please let us know. |

I played with them a bit and they work quite well... until you meet hybrids. Hybrids generally destroy zenith mirrors from afar... (10k laser zap... * 40 = around 40% hp of one mirror gone) I think that same will happen when you try to use mirrors when there are high damage long range(or missile) enemies around - like artillery golems and missile posts. |

Yea, the mirrors are one of those types that are both harder counters and harder countered ;) |

I played much more with them and I have two main concerns: - they are useless when fortress is on planet - unless they are meant to be damage sponge only in this case but you are much better without taking them probably since fortress is now quite weak against most of units because of armor and low per missile damage - vampire claws in area force you to do some very annoying micro because they are almost un-killable when attacking a mirror ( full Mk II cap of ships (5 types) shooting with few lights and riots) |
