'''Armor'''
'''Turrets'''
 
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.
 
'''Plasteel'''
 
Protective equivalent: 10 cm durasteel. Plasteel is the least expensive armor and protects one from the equivalent of four direct laser hits.

'''ARMOR '''


Plasteel is the most basic form of protection, cheaper than tungsten armor. With only 10 cm durasteel equivalent protection, it cannot withstand prolonged enemy attack. As soon as you can afford the switch, you should upgrade from plasteel to tungsten armor.  
There are three types of turrets: top, bottom and rear. Availability depends upon the type of ship you are flying. All turrets have room for two guns and a tractor beam. While they come with an MFD for tar-geting and ordnance, they have no radar.
