Sentinel takes no DEMP damage.

Sentinel is very strong, much ctronger than a lambda, but then its a different beast. It's not impossible to take down, much like many other FS assets it requires good teamwork.

Also, I hate to say this, but it's easy to criticise a mod for not doing what you want it too, but at the end of the day the guys working on it are doing so from their own free time. We'd love to include a lot of things you guys want but we are working to a timeframe and to what time we have free to spend on implementing some of these things. I think we have already produced a game/od that rivalsat least, and IMO betters that which has been roduced by professional gaming companies.

You don't have to get inside that thing to hurt the occupants as you well know. There are issues with it repairing too fast though, have to disagree with most of the other points though, you can certainly deal a lot of damage to the Sentinel from the ground, as we've said before just takes teamwork. The pilot kill through the canopy is an unfortunate result of splash damage from heavy fire being able to penetrate the hull, it is a problem we have with a number of assets in First Strike, similarly with starfighters a well placed shot can take the pilot clean out of the cockpit, we've taken steps to limit it, but obviously in some cases we are limited by the abilities of the game engine.

I came across as a little aggressive in my previous post.  It's what happens when I stay up late when I'm tired, apologies.

Splash through cockpit isn't an engine limitation.  You do not get shot out of cockpits in Vanilla 2142, nor are you hurt by splash damage when behind a personal shield (and to keep it to vehicles, you don't take damage in an e-web behind a shield).  There are ways to stop splash from penetrating things.  The game engine can't be blamed on this one.

Edit: and I totally missed Twiggles post.  He's correct in that you only see the effect, but there are no physical effects.  That's still a bit weird though.
