Lightweight Armour
Lightweight Armour is an engineer modification that can be applied to Bulkheads. It decreases mass and improves resistances at the cost of reduced hull strength.
It is available in 5 grades, with the highest grade offering up to 55% decrease in mass.
NOTE: Any mass reduction/increase is not applied to the default stock Lightweight Alloys.
