How strong are the different hulls, armors and shields?
Standard Armor – This armor is the default type on all UGTO ships and is effective against all weapon types. Composite Armor – This is an ICC-only variant of standard armor. Reflective Armor – Provides better protection against laser weapons. Ablative Armor – Provides better protection against kinetic weapons. Ablative Armor is not capable of repairing itself. Reactive Shields – These shields are the default type on ICC ships and are comparable to Standard Armor. Reactive Shields will only drain energy while recharging. Active Shields – These shields provide increased protection over Reactive Shields, but require constant energy. Organic Armor – This armor is only found on K’luth ships and is noticeably weaker than human armor or shields. Hull Strength is a function of the ship’s hull size (ship class), the larger a ship is, the more damage it can take to an unprotected hull.
