There are only two places I'll stick armor that heavy, on bases and on missile BBs that can't gate anyway. And even in those cases it's questionable.


It's generally worth it to armor your (bases|missile ships) - force protection. Basically the reason why arm cruisers even if they shoot first suck; any hits and they start going poof...taking those missiles with them. It's less important early on, but as the missiles get more expensive it becomes more and more worth your time to armor the ships that carry them. And you generally aren't too worried about gatability or battle speed.

On beamers armor is a much more iffy proposition due to speed, gatability, and move last concerns.
