Hi!

The problem with the argument, IMO, is that it totally ignores the fp gained via cheaper nubian costs and hence a larger stack with base armor (which is cheaper overall IIRC).

Yeah  . The price for 3 SuperLat armors is higher than the price for a bare Nub hull.
Armors in Stars! are overpriced.  If cap-ship missiles wouldn't do the double damage to ships without shields, then armors would still be usefull. But this way I only put them on orbitals, and on my missile BBs. All that iron there is worth some additional protection... 
I remember making a mod, where I decreased cost of all armors by about 50%, and decreased the weight of (most of) them by about 1/3. In a testbed it felt right, at least the RS was not such an obvious choice anymore.
BR, Iztok
