Also, "Armor = ultra heavy" seems like an old idea. Why does armor weigh more than a shield generator? I bet that the 2 would weigh similar amounts... Wink

I sure hope you are kidding.

I understand that the STARS! tech files are misleading with their image of a shield representing the armor items for ships... But we're talking about adding, sheet by sheet, additionnal layers which cover the whole ship to provide protection. Versus small force shield generating devices which can easily be encased inside the ship itself.

I have no idea how armor could ever be the same weight, unless we someday manage to find some kind of alloy which would, by default, be stronger than the armor layers you could possibly plan to sport on the ship... And from my POV, that's what the base armor is also supposed to represent IMHO: increase in strenght of the base hull versus lower CONstruction hulls.

And before you argue about realisticity: why do we have to destroy the whole armor layer before being able to destroy a ship instead of hammering a single point on the vessel and destroying everything from the inside when it is breached?

I think armored STARS! vessel have it quite good already. Wink
