Ships About armor

[Rudolphus]

I believe more people have seen this but when you store your ship,
you see when you want to retrieve it again the shield strength and armor strength

I have test the armor and shield generator options and I come to this

Armor

Lightweight alloy armor 144
Reinforced alloy armor 202 = +58, 40%
Military grade composite armor 280 = +136, 94,44%
Mirrored surface composite armor 280 = +136, 94,44% and extra strength against thermal
Reactive surface composite armor 280 = +136, 94,44% and extra strength against kinetic

Shield generators

E2 = 230
D2 = 250
C2 = 270
B2 = 290
A2 = 310

E3 = 260
D3 = 280
C3 = 300
B2 = 320
A3 = 340

Good information. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

It has been tested in the past, mirrored respectively reactive armour provides full benefit only for the relevant damage type, and less protection against the other than military grade. In other words, mirrored armour does not provide just extra strength against thermal, but extra reduced strength against kinetic. Most tests made it seem that military = 50% damage reduction on all, mirrored = 75% reduction on lasers, 25% on kinetic, reactive is the other way round. You make it sound like they are both like military armour with extra resistance added on top - they aren't.

I have only write down what ED show us in hard data when you retrieve your ship again.

I give you an example:

You buy the Imperial Courier and store it away for another ship.
When you retrieve it again it show without upgrade armor 144 then you buy the military alloy and do this again and then it show armor 202
