Xenon ship have hull autoregen in combat?

[Nicolas_Yad]

Hi,

I've just fought and destroyed a xenon branch 9 destroyer K in Matrix sector https://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/20 ... 2257-1.jpg
What surprised me during the fight is that the ship had hull regeneration. I was flying a paranid gorgon, with beam turrets and bolt repeaters as main guns. I noticed that when only my turrets were shooting at the xenon destroyer, his hull was repairing slowly, even under light but sustained fire.
Only my main guns were able to do enough damage to lower the hull faster than the autoregen.
Is it something new? Or a Xenon thing? I don't remember capital ships having autoregen on the hull before.

Well they did in XR, so I would expect it in X4. I would also expect that hull region would happen with any cap ship with a talented engineer on board. Haven't tried it though.

If you think that's bad. Try to destroy a station. They repair 20 percent per video frame.

That's interesting, I didn't know that.
Means you can't use a S fighter, hide in a dead angle of a big cap ship and destroy it in one hour if you don't have enough firepower.
