Ablative Hardpoint Reinforcements

[DemiserofD]

Hull tanks suffer from the fact that Module Reinforcements can only protect internals at full strength. In any fight, even with three module reinforcements, external modules will invariably be significantly damaged, making shieldless builds non-viable.

I'd like to see Ablative Hardpoint Reinforcements. 90% coverage/protection, but ONLY for external modules, not internal ones.

Although a decent enough idea, I'd prefer engineering for quick draw, and that when hardpoints are stowed they fall under module protection.

So if you are about to get hit by missiles you could stow and brace for impact and that quicker stowing would make that much more effective.
