Hey folks.
Been reading up on some descriptions for starships and mecha (terrific detail), and something started bugging me...how exactly does one damage these things?
With Starships, I can understand how something that big is going to receive a lot of incoming fire, putting stress on shields to the point where they could fail, leaving just the armor to be chipped away...but I am more so asking the question about the mecha we use. How exactly do you damage a power armor that has shields against several types of projectiles, missle-jamming equipment, resilience to EMP, and so on? Shoot at each other until something gives, all the while waiting for heavier-weapon assistance to arrive? Granted that that's basically how most wars are fought anyway, I could understand it...but it would give me a little more peace of mind to hear someone else confirm it.
