If you were supposed to get an email from the forum but didn't (e.g. to verify your account for registration), email Wes at stararmy@gmail.com or talk to me on Discord for help. Sometimes the server hits our limit of emails we can send per hour.
If approved, this would introduce a third layer of defense to items, wouldn't it? The current system is shields and hull. On a shielded ship, wouldn't this mean there was a shield, ablative armor, and hull? I'm trying to figure out how that fits into our damage rating system without breaking the current standard.
I personally like the way the concept was applied. I do, however, share Wes' worries. I mean, I like how it's meant to be applied but I can see how some other people would believe such allowances could be exploited.
Which as with all things, means the Tech Moderators need to make sure that people don't.
And at present there is only one faction who has ablative armor. So anyone who creates a version for their own faction would have to have the some game play rules imposed and enforced.
