- Description of the problem, what happened.
When damage is blocked, or damage is reduced below 1, it applies 0 damage to the user as seen on screen via the damage indicator. This zero damage will effect your ship as if it was real damage. For instance it will cancel the hull restoration system or a tackler’s cloak. This is a huge problem and should be fixed asap.
- What did you expected to happen.
I expected blocked damage to not affect my ship in any way.
3. The conditions during the situation.
Any game mode using any ship that can negate damage. (using emergency barrier or other invulnerability items)
4. Further details on the issue.
It shouldn’t happen.
5. Frequency of occurrence.
100%

How to reproduce:
1: go in to any mode
2: activate ECM Metastable Energy Field Generator
3: take damage
4: watch damage numbers and see zero.
Easiest way to see it is the ECM special module, but any invulnerability effect works.

You can also replicate this if you got an invulnerability status active on your ship.

Not a bug. This is working as intended.
Any damage should be detected and applied. If a target is immune to such damage, it should display 0s’ when damage is ignored or blocked.
This bug report can be closed now.

There is nothing wrong with showing 0s. This is actually how I wanted it to work from the beginning.

The fact that it displays 0 isn’t the bug. The fact that the 0’s will cancel positive effects is the bug.

As you can see, when I became invulnerable and was hit, it dealt 0 damage yet canceled the healing effect.
You may have a point here, but 0 damage can still be considered as damage, or rather, a hit to disrupt the effect. Same goes for Pirate and Engine Overcharge.
Some modules cancel its effect, others don’t. There are other examples as well.

Not the same. Invulnerability means invulnerability. It doesn’t mean “you won’t take ‘real’ damage but the effects of the damage will still disrupt all of your vital equipment”.
I first noticed this when the 0 damage from the specops destroyer gravity pull constantly un-cloaked me in my tackler. I was never taking any actual damage, but the 0 damage still disrupted the effect.
We decied that it isn’t critical issue

Okay, so you decided to ignore this issue?
I think Koromacs explanation would even make sense in a realistic environment. Your ship might be able to survive a hit without taking damage, but it can still shake your ship around and disrupt some systems. It doesn’t seem like a bug either.
