9.12 Hull Polarization

Cost: Varies

Available: 2110

Hull polarization grids are similar to hull plating, both superficially and in effect, and are often the next advance in defensive systems. The hull plates are constructed from ‘smart’ materials so that when a charge is run through the hull the molecules rearrange, taking on a substantially more resilient form. Not only does this make the vessel harder to damage by increasing its Protection rating (and at a fraction of hull plating’s cost), but it can also help distribute damage across the surrounding area. Polarization grids afford a small bit of added protection with their threshold ratings.
