Armor

Modifier · defense

One of the three standard-mitigation channels, countered by the attacker’s Armor Piercing as a ratio. Channel weights [armor, deflection, dodge] come from the defender’s hull class: [0.55, 0.2, 0.2] Battleship, [0.2, 0.55, 0.2] Explorer, [0.2, 0.2, 0.55] Interceptor, [0.3, 0.3, 0.3] survey ships and armada targets. Maxing all three on a Battleship gives 1 − (1 − 0.55)(1 − 0.2)(1 − 0.2) = 71.2%, the ceiling on standard mitigation. It is also granted by the umbrella stat Defenses, so bonuses to that raise this too.
