MagnoCeramic Lattices

Description: (Random) A magnetically enhanced ceramic composite material that makes hulls very resistant to kinetic attacks and greatly reinforces a sections internal structure.
Research Category: Industrial Technology
Research Cost: 60,000 (Polysilicate Alloys) or 30,000 (Mega-Strip Mining) Research Points
Required Technology: Polysilicate Alloys OR Mega-Strip Mining
Races Allowed: Hiver, Human, Liir, Morrigi, Tarka, Zuul
Effect: Designed to reduce the impact of solid objects.
Increases the cost of a ship section it is added to by +40%.
Adds a noticeable chance (+110%) that a ballistic weapon will ricochet off the armor, possibly pushing the ship off course but otherwise causing no damage.
Also adds an additional +35% to the hit points of the ship sections it is installed on, due to additional hull reinforcement to mount the armor plating.
Notes: This tech can be salvaged both from a planet and from a ship.
