Plasteel Armor or plasteel armor or plasteel is a type of armor that may be installed on spacecraft to increase their overall defensive capacity. Plasteel armor is the cheapest armor available and offers the equivalent protection of ten centimeters of durasteel (roughly four laser hits). It is available for sale to privateers at ship dealers. Gabriel Quentin wrote about plasteel armor in GEMINI SECTOR: AN OVERVIEW.

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.
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.
