Quark Resonators
From SOTS
The contents of this page were introduced in the original Sword of the Stars. |
Description: | (Random) These advanced field generators send out a resonant energy wave that induces quark alignment in solids and results in a steep increase in the toughness of ship hulls. |

Research Category: | Industrial Technology |
Research Cost: | 110,000 Research Points |
Required Technology: | MagnoCeramic Lattices AND Fusion |
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 +60%. Adds a large chance (+130%) that a ballistic weapon will ricochet off the armor, possibly pushing the ship off course but otherwise causing no damage. Also adds an additional 60% to the hit points of the ship sections it is installed on, due to additional hull reinforcement to mount the armor plating. |
Notes: | While there is no direct link from this technology to the Hardened Structures tech, Quark Resonators must be researched before Hardened Structures becomes available for research. |
