LOE Ship Armour Test

Armor

Ships may normally only have a single type of armor, but multiple instances of a single type may be stacked with specified benefits. Armors listed with two values such as +4(+3) would pay 4 slots for the first armor instance but only 3 for every additional instance.

Shield and protection upgrades may be fitted in Option slots without penalty, but as per normal may not be split between Armor/Option.

Ships may only have one shield upgrade active at any time, but as many protection upgrades as desired.

HA# - Heavy Armor; reduces the rating of Pierce or Break effects (as appropriate) by the Heavy Armor rating.
