Combat Defense

Shields : Federation standards require the minimum of
Small Shield Generators in all combat ready starships.
 


Shields are your first line of defense against enemy fire,
and will recharge direct from your subspace-drive.

Armor : Federation standards require the minimum of
Titanium armor in all combat ready starships.

There are five armor types available :
 - Level 1 = Titanium
 - Level 2 = Tritanium
 - Level 3 = Zortium
 - Level 4 = Neutronium
 - Level 5 = Adamantium

Hull : The hull value of a starship depends directly on the design of the
starship itself.

Once shields and armor are depleted, the hull is the only thing
between the pilot and hot steaming laser plasma.

Droids : Droids can be deployed as cannon fodder, although that would be
rather expensive..
