Munition:300mm-ap-rail-sabot

In Game Description

High-velocity alloy-based shell used in railgun-type weapon systems, including mass drivers. While the full size of the sabot package is 300mm, the needle projectile is much smaller. These high-speed, extremely hard needles perforate delicate components and cause rapid degradation to warship systems, though they lack the explosive punch to permanently destroy them.

In Game Performance

AP Sabot always spreads their damage across all components hit, dealing a certain fraction of damage to each component that falls off for each component hit, depending on the overpen multiplier. This applies even if the shot overpens.

AP Sabot will always cause a critical event (crit) in a random component if they hit the structure hitbox, even if the ship is not structure-broken.

AP Sabot will never trigger catastrophic events (but the subsequent fires can cause catastrophics)
