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. |
