Skill: Starship Armor Reinforcements


 *  Note: This skill was replaced by and .

Starship Armor Reinforcements is a Tier 5 Engineering skill available to all Starfleet and KDF Admirals. Each increment of this skill costs 3,000 skillpoints.

Details
This skill improves your Starship's Damage Resistance to Kinetic and Physical damage - for example the damage from torpedoes, mines, and other large explosions. The higher your Damage Resistance, the less damage you will take from an attack. More specifically, this skill increases your damage resistance magnitude, instead of increasing the damage resistance directly.

Abilities Affected
Abilities that increase damage resistance magnitude or damage resistance stack with this skill. Unfortunately, because damage resistance suffers from diminishing returns, the actual damage resistance may be significantly less than expected.
