With the introduction of SvS, to attemt to fix some inbalence issues they also introduced Inner / Outer Hull Damage.

Basically this means you have to "Break" the Outer Hull before getting big damage in the "Inner" Hull.

At first it applied to all ships - but was changed in the NPC world (mostly - they still have I/O but there O is much weaker).

Ironhawk has a post around here somewhere on it - and I posted some notes as well in my blog.

OK yea thats lovely but i put 5 points in lightning for a reason and that reason was for ship PVP now they make lighting 89 damage up close and 50 damage far away well that stinks im complaing to disney they better fix this and hope its a bug but this is ridiculous
No - it isnt a bug and was definitely needed. It prevents some major imbalences in SvS from taking place. Once the Outer Hull breaks your lighting will still do lots of damage (I figure with 5 point lighting that you have it would be over 1100).

Its actually your reason that I/O was created - it levels the playing field some for lower pirates until you break the Outer Hull, then you still get the advantage of more power - but gives little pirrates the change to get away and not be faced by a bunch of 'Lighting Bullies'
