Armor
There are two types of armor available. Both are repairable if damaged and offer significant protection. Most ship’s hulls are built to keep you pressurized and immune from radiation, but they do not do much to stop a mass driver. If you can afford an escort, you may not need armor, but other protection is much less reliable.
Tungsten
Protective equivalent: 20 cm durasteel. Tungsten armor may cost a little more but can stop up to two torpedoes. If you are a courier in Potter Quadrant, working for bureaucrats, you probably don’t need this level of protection. As you are clearly a reader of our humble little journal, you are more likely a risk taker who runs guns out to the edge of the Kilrathi border and therefore need all the protection you can get. I recommend you not pinch millicredits and spend the extra necessary to get tungsten armor.
