Line 1:

'''Armour Hardness''', also known as '''Armour Rating''', is ~~a value~~ of a ~~ships~~ hull that ~~plays a role in~~ how ~~much~~ damage ~~is dealt by weapon fire~~ on ~~said~~ hull. It is ~~based on the~~ ship ~~model~~ and ~~can not~~ be altered ~~by any outfitting~~ or ~~engineering~~ options.

'''Armour Hardness''', also known as '''Armour Rating''', is an innate characteristic of a [[Ships|ship's]] hull that determines how damage from specific weapons will be inflicted on the hull of the target. In general, larger ships tend to have high Armour Hardness values, while smaller ships tend to have low Armour Hardness values. This value is specific to each model of ship, and cannot be improved or otherwise altered through [[Outfitting]] or [[Engineers|Engineering]] options.

== Effect on Damage ==

If ~~the weapons~~ Pierce Rating ~~lies above~~ the ~~ships~~ Hardness Rating ~~the~~ full damage ~~will be dealt~~ to the targeted ship. If ~~not~~ the damage will be calculated ~~differently~~:

If a weapon's Pierce Rating is higher than the targeted ship's Hardness Rating, then it will deal its full damage to the hull of the targeted ship. If the Pierce Rating is lower than the Hardness Rating, then damage will be calculated as follows:

[[File:Dealt Damage.PNG|none|thumb|550x550px]]

This means that a weapon will ~~deal~~ 24% of its damage ~~in the worst case (with 18 Pierce and 75 Hardness)~~, ~~with the exception~~ of the [[~~Cytoscrambler|Cytoscrambler~~ Burst Laser]] ~~that deals~~ 1.33-5.00% of its damage ~~making~~ it useless against hulls.

This means that a [[Mining Laser]], the weakest of all standard weapon modules with a Pierce Rating of 18, used on a [[Type-10 Defender]] with an Armour Hardness of 75 will inflict only 24% of its total damage potential. The [[Cytoscrambler]], a specialized anti-shield variant of the [[Burst Laser]], performs even more poorly and will inflict only 1.33-5.00% of its damage, rendering it near useless against hulls.
