Armor Thoughts

[Marty Ward]

But you survive much longer if you are not hit at all!
But that is the beauty of this game. There are counters for almost everything. If you are against a crystal race any armor is useless. If you are organic,armor is great. If you are against shield depleters armor is great.
That's why I love this game!

I usually go with stealth armor and ablative armor to fill up space on my ships, especially on smaller ships and boarding ships. I rarely use stealth and scattering armor on the same platform except for starbases and battlestations where the 80kt is a very small portion of the available space and 30% defensive bonus helps offset the hull type defensive penalties.
