Haha, every time I look at these tips, I think my ships are gonna be forever ugly when I start putting weapons on them because I could never have the patience to mod and test weapons.

Ablative armour is at it's most basic extra armour slapped onto an existing surface in such a way that it can be destroyed without compromising the surfaces' durability, thus giving an extra layer of defense.
In most modern cases, ablatives come in small plates so that a single area can be blasted off without removing the additional protection from the rest of the hull.

Ok, thx. So its just extra sections with high HP for the sole purpose of making the ship tougher to kill?

Doesn't have to have high HP. The explosions from a high-HP section can be more harm than good.Hypothetical Wisdom wrote:Ok, thx. So its just extra sections with high HP for the sole purpose of making the ship tougher to kill?
