Instead, you can give hulls built-in shield generation.
You can also make a one-per-vehicle armor component that uses up zero space.

Hi SJ,

I was trying to make a special ship for each racial trait, but looks like I can't use armour after all. As to the shields, I don't think I want to use it too, since a non-phrased built-in shields can't mix with phrased ones and will cause problems later in the game with PPBs. On the other hand a built-in phrased shield is probably too much of an advantage in the early game.
