Hull Armor Plating

Hull armor is additional plating which can be used to add to the amount of Hull damage a segment of the ship can stand before it is breached. It must be applied to a specific segment and side (front, back, top, bottom, port, starboard). Thus, in order to fully plate the main segment of the ship, you would need to purchase six different hull armors. It costs 100 credits per section of plate, multiplied by the size of the ship, and adds 10 hull armor multiplied by the size of the ship to that section. Thus, spending 2000 credits would allow you to plate one side of a segment of a size 2 ship with 100 extra armor. Note that you cannot outfit a ship with more additional hull armor than it had hull armor to begin with. Therefore, you may only buy 100 additional hull armor for a ship that has 100 maximum hull armor to start with.
