Ship Design

Weapon Modules

Defense Modules

Support Modules

Squadron Modules

Defensive modules: They protect ships from either projectiles or energy weapons. They will make your ships survive under the enemy fire.

• Armor protects mainly against Projectile attacks, and increases HP of the ship significantly.
• Shield protects mainly against Energy attacks, and uses a Shield HP that will defend the ship so long as it isn't depleted.

Note that incoming damage can never be completely negated, and that weapons have Shield Penetration and Hull Plating (Armor) Penetration stats. See Combat#Defense and Absorption for more details.

Armor

modulename	Armor		HP	Absorb	Additional Effect	Base Cost	Notes
ModuleDefenseHullPlating1		Basic High-I Plating	270	40	-10% Crew lost per hit	7	Military I
			By using denser materials, hull integrity and armor resistance to kinetics are improved. These materials are difficult to machine, but highly effective.
ModuleDefenseHullPlating2		Basic Reactive Plating	400	50	-10% Crew lost per hit	11	Military II
			While the first generations of starship armaments were similar to planetary versions, newer offensive arms require advanced armors. Reactive armor systems have shown to be useful against recent improvements in kinetic and missile weapons.
ModuleDefenseHullPlating3		Basic Monohull Plating	600	80	-10% Crew lost per hit	16	Military III
			A technology that allows hulls to be 'cast' or 'woven' more than bolted together, monohulls are ships whose hulls are multiple layers of single sheets of long molecule chains, making them resistant and durable.
ModuleDefenseHullPlating4		Basic Inert Plating	800	130	-10% Crew lost per hit	21	Military IV
			One of the goals of ship design is to create armor that renders a ship's hull chemically, magnetically, thermodynamically, and gravitationally inert. They react to almost nothing and are far more difficult to damage.
ModuleDefenseHullPlating5		Basic Impenetrable Plating	1000	150	-10% Crew lost per hit	26	Military IV
			A combination of materials, fields, and the use of gravity effects, this is the best technology that science can conceive of for improving kinetic and missile defenses.
ModuleDefenseHullPlating2Strategic1		Improved High-I Plating	700	100	-25% Crew lost per hit -25% Enemy Boarding Pod Damage	14 1	Curiosity
			By using the densest available metal, Titanium-70, hull integrity and armor resistance to kinetics are improved. It is costly to machine, but highly effective.
ModuleDefenseHullPlating3Strategic1		Improved Reactive Plating	850	135	-25% Crew lost per hit -25% Enemy Boarding Pod Damage	15 1	Titanium Electroplating (Military III)
			While the first generation of starship armaments were similar to planetary versions, newer offensive arms require advanced armors. Reactive armor systems have proved to be useful against recent improvements in kinetic and missile weapons.
ModuleDefenseHullPlating3Strategic3		Advanced Monohull Plating	900	140	-10% Crew lost per hit -10 Squadron Damage	19 1	Curiosity
			A technology that allows hulls to be 'cast' or 'woven' more than bolted together, monohulls are ships whose hulls are multiple layers of single sheets of long molecule chains, making them resistant and durable.
ModuleDefenseHullPlating4Strategic3		Advanced Inert Plating	1120	160	-10% Crew lost per hit -10 Squadron Damage	19 1	Adamantian Electroplating (Military IV)
			One of the goals of ship design is to create armor that renders a ship's hull chemically, magnetically, thermodynamically, and gravitationally inert. They react to almost nothing and are far more difficult to damage.
ModuleDefenseHullPlating4Strategic5		Extreme Orichalcix Plating	1200	165	-10% Crew lost per hit 0.1 HP repaired per damage absorbed HP	25 1	Curiosity
			An extreme version of the basic technology, compressed orichalcix is used to add density to the armor and further reduce radiation penetration.
ModuleDefenseHullPlating5Strategic5		Extreme Impenetrable Plating	1400	180	-10% Crew lost per hit 0.1 HP repaired per damage absorbed HP	28 1	Interleaved Orichalcix (Military V)
			A combination of materials, fields, and the use of gravity effects, this is the best technology that science can conceive of for improving kinetic and missile defenses.
ModuleDefenseHullPlating4Terrans		Basic Inert Plating	850	140	-10% Crew lost per hit	21	United Empire
			One of the goals of ship design is to create armor that renders a ship's hull chemically, magnetically, thermodynamically, and gravitationally inert. With their history of armor and warfare, the Empire is happy to clad their ships in this.
ModuleDefenseHullPlating4Unfallen		Basic Inert Plating	900	135	-10% Crew lost per hit	21	Unfallen
			One of the goals of ship design is to create armor that renders a ship's hull chemically, magnetically, thermodynamically, and gravitationally inert. This appeals to the Unfallen, who see in armor and defense a greater harmony than in offensive weapons.

Shields

modulename	Shields		HP	Shield HP	Absorb	Effect	Base Cost	Notes
ModuleDefenseShield1		Basic Plasma Shielding	30	1600	80	-10% Crew lost per hit	7	Military I
			Requiring enormous amounts of energy, this shielding system surrounds the ship with a near-impenetrable barrier of dense, ionized gas.
ModuleDefenseShield2		Basic Uniform Shielding	80	2400	140	-10% Crew lost per hit	11	Military II
			Due to the irregular shapes of starships, it is often difficult to project and maintain shields without creating points where shields are weak or where too many overlap and waste energy. Advanced systems that guarantee perfect ship shielding avoid both these issues.
ModuleDefenseShield3		Basic Plasmoid Shielding	110	3000	240	-10% Crew lost per hit	16	Military III
			This is an improved use of plasma for ship defense, in which it is shaped into charges and used to deflect and dissipate incoming beams.
ModuleDefenseShield4		Basic Transformative Shielding	150	4600?	350	-10% Crew lost per hit	21	Military IV
			Exploiting the networking and field effects of Dust, energy fields can be created around a vessel that transform incoming phased particles -- regardless of their form -- into a dispersed cloud.
ModuleDefenseShield5		Basic Graviton Shielding	200	5800	420	-10% Crew lost per hit	26	Military V
