MgT ship armor thoughts:
My reading of Mongoose High Guard leads me to the conclusion that any warship that can have bonded armor must have 15 percent plus the radiation package.
Weapons for ship use start with particle barbs and torpedoes at the low end, with any actual destroyers needing particle or meson bays, in order to overcome said 15 percent.
Any capital ship needs the highest damaging spinal possible, for the penetration class, under any circumstances and for sure in the case of a 15 percent armored ship with rad shields.
The barrage rules do allow for mass fires to do damage, but even so 15% armor basically requires torps or particle and better weapons. In barrage, armor is more important than any other defense factor.
