Extreme Stellar Armour

To go with the thread about heavy/v.high tech weapons I thought I'd better look at adapting TL17 Coherent Superdense Armour to High Guard/T20 too

This type of armour is mentioned in MT, FF&S1, and FF&S2(along with others). I decided to use the numbers from FF&S to work from.

CSD is 1.4x tougher than TL14 BSD (bonded superdense), to get the same AR in T20 or High Guard using CSD instead of BSD should , therefore, take 0.7x the tonnage.

In T20 this means one unit of TL17 CSD armour has a weight of 0.7, and costs KCr300 plus KCr70 per unit installed.

In High Guard simply extend the Hull Armour table:

TL: 14-16 ...17+
%hull: 1+1a ...0.7+0.7a

(Some of you may have guessed, I'm including a TL17 patrol cruiser in a scenario shortly - and no, it's nothing to do with Ancient races ;) )
 
Yes, I guess you saw the official announcement. I imagine PVernon and Thomas Rux will be along eventually to post their announcements of it here and there


I'm a little disappointed in the size (500tons, no room for a spinal :(

) but oh well, there's all the new turrets to play with. Thanks for that and the armor here. I was looking at it the other night and just going to hand-wave a halving (i.e. 0.5tons per) based on the MT ratio of 0.14tons for TL14 vs 0.06tons for TL17.

Back to the drawing board...
