Skill: Hull Penetration

Overview


Hull Penetration is a Captain Tactical skill available through the skill system at the level 30 (Player rank: Captain,  Commander). There are three total skill nodes in this chain, each costing 1 Space Point to purchase.

This skill improves the damage dealt by your starship weapons by reducing the amount of damage resistance rating your target has. The amount of Hull Penetration you have is directly subtracted from the Damage Resistance Rating of your target when determining how much damage is dealt. Hull Penetration skill provides Armor Penetration to your weapons, which translates into a hull damage resistance rating debuff.
