Default Re: Armor, Shields and Damage (FAQ)

quote:
The first advantage of Organic armor is that it's tougher than standard armor.
25% stronger at max tech...
The problem is that shields aren't tracked separately from the hull in unit stacks anymore, so a shield generator will blow away any armor in terms of defense. (2x the strength of standard armor!)
Unit shields are not even affected by shield depleters!

Unless your enemies are packing null-space cannons, you'd be better off with shields.
