Angled Plating

Custom angling of plates at critical points along the ship's hull make projectile strikes more likely to glance, reducing the impact of kinetic damage at the cost of structural integrity.

— In-Game Description

Angled Plating is an Experimental Effect that can be applied to modules through Engineering. It increases Kinetic Resistance at the expense of Hull Boost.

As armour is not very resistant to Kinetic Damage, most builds should benefit from this upgrade.

Applicability

The effect is available for the following modules:

• Bulkheads
• Hull Reinforcement Package

Materials Required

Bulkheads

• 5x Compact Composites
• 3x Mechanical Equipment
• 2x Molybdenum

Hull Reinforcement Package

• 5x Tempered Alloys
• 5x Carbon
• 3x High Density Composites
• 3x Zirconium
