And in further defense of Organic armor, just get Temporal (for early shield and armor skip) or nullspace (which you can get pretty quick too)

or or or.... CRYSTALINE RACIAL TECH! Its not that much of a problem. And if you really can't beat the organics, just do as some famous general said a long time ago and i forgot who (maybe Sun Tzu) Just adobt their tactics. If they win using organics why don't you? Or just hit their organics econ?

And repairing 60 components is a *****, i had a Baseship with a bunch of Xgat comps on it and it took some serious damage, well i just retrofitted it to a ship with bigger mounts instead of trying to repair em all, o and i never retrofit ot the Xgat model. It woudl take 2 turns at my biggest yard (2 battlestations full of repair 2's) and 8 yards and a planet with a space yard of course

yes, but just think of the repair ratio when it does get damaged. 60 components, your waiting a loooong time for that baby to be operational again And I usually reduce my races repair rate to 50%
Why worry? Fix two or three, and as soon as you next enter combat, all of those armor components will heal each other up, completing the repairs for you.

What, you mean DEAD armors heal in combat?!? But they don't outside of combat?!? I would be ROFLMAO but somehow I just can't... too evil... too... Malfadorious!

You know, that would have been my choice for 'early' organic armor. The first Versions would recover after combat. Only at higher tech levels would it heal during combat. I wish there were a way to implement that. I wish there were a way to make a ship only able to repair itself, too.
