Hi all! One of the things I don't like in Empyrion is armor mechanics. You can spend a lot of time to build nice looking ship but in the end it does not stand a chance with brick like ship. Some of the scenarios added different resistances to blocks but this is still not enough. My idea is: - most external blocks work as armor layer and kind of "container". In ship design you modify this container and decide how "dense" it should be and what is the order of protection layers inside. More layers = heavier/slower ship. If first layer is laserproof then it has to be damaged with balistic ammo type first. - having only one layer of armor could save some computing power and make ship designs less bricky. What do you think?
