Bulkheads: Difference between revisions
Removed ambiguous personal opinion, added some minor edits. Also reincorporated collision resistance information. Stop removing it! Go test it if you don't believe it, or don't touch it. |

All ships in Elite use '''Bulkheads''' to protect their hulls. Heavier Bulkheads offer better protection at the cost of mass and ship value, i.e. Credits. | |||

Values that determine hull protection are hull points and damage-type specific resistances: thermal, kinetic and explosive. In addition there is [[ | Values that determine hull protection are hull points and damage-type specific resistances: thermal, kinetic and explosive. In addition there is [[Armour Hardness]] determined by ship model which can not be changed in any way. There are five different bulkheads available for every ship: | ||

Bulkheads are available for purchase at Outfitting for a relatively high price. However, no bulkheads will be available to purchase for a particular ship if that model is not for sale at that location's shipyard. | Bulkheads are available for purchase at Outfitting for a relatively high price.

=== Mk II Ablative === | |||
The introduction of the [[Caspian Explorer]] ship also added new Mk II Ablative versions of the above bulkhead armour types, which permit steeper and faster atmospheric entries.<ref>[https://www.elitedangerous.com/en-US/news/galnet/zorgon-peterson-unveils-caspian-explorer-vessel Zorgon Peterson Unveils Caspian Explorer Vessel - Galnet 02 Dec 3311] - Elite Dangerous website - 02 December 2025</ref> The five new types were added to [[Elite Dangerous: Odyssey|''Elite Dangerous: Odyssey'']] in the v4.3.0.0 Caspian Explorer Update, released on 2 December 2025.<ref>[https://www.elitedangerous.com/en-US/UpdateNotes/4-3-0-0 Update Notes - v4.3.0.0 Caspian Explorer Update] - Elite Dangerous website - 02 December 2025</ref> At the time of introduction, the Caspian Explorer is the only ship on which they can be fitted. | |||
