4.3 Resistance
(Required)
Cost: Base amount of 2 per hull (outer & inner) free. Additional 3 SUs per +2 points per hull, with a maximum of 8 for pre-2291 and 10 for post-2290 ships.
While starships primarily rely upon their shields for protection against outside sources of damage, hulls themselves provide a small amount of additional protection against attacks that penetrate the shields. This is known as Resistance. Both the outer and inner hulls provide Resistance; it is bought separately for each hull. Each has 2 points of Resistance automatically and for free. Only the strongest, most powerful ships max out the Resistance; most make due with 4 or 6 points (military; 2 or 3 civilian) in the 23rd century and 6 or 8 (military; 4 or 5 civilian) in the 24th.
Resistance does not protect against many forms of hull stress which affect the entire vessel; that’s the function of the SIF.
