Ship armor

Ship armor begins to take damage once your shields are lost, and tends to be the component that suffers the most daily decay.

Typically crafters own the armor market, although some looted armor can outdo a crafters after reverse egineering. Once the external armor plating is lost, the next damage goes directly to your chasis and components.

Armor tends to be cumbersome and you can get by on poor armor or none, but when things get ugly you'll be wishing you had went for the best armor in those dire moments.
