Description: | (Random) An advanced kinetic–resistant hull material that strengthens the entire section of a ship. |
---|---|
Research Category: | Industrial Technology |
Research Cost: | 16,000 (Reflective Coating) or 10,000 (Orbital Foundries) or 15,000 (Asteroid Mining) or 8,000 (Tarkasian Living Steel) Research Points |
Required Technology: | Reflective Coating OR Orbital Foundries OR Asteroid Mining OR Tarkasian Living Steel |
Races Allowed: | Hiver, Human, Liir, Morrigi, Tarka, Zuul |
Effect: | Designed to reduce the impact of solid objects. Increases cost of a ship section it is added to by +20%. Adds a chance (+80%) that a ballistic weapon will ricochet off the armor, possibly pushing the ship off course but otherwise causing no damage. Also adds an additional +15% 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. |
