Unless its race specific tech I have not noticed, I cant find any armor for ships that add HP expect the Durantium hull reinforcement. There is no other armor at all, not even one that dosnt require Durantium as i would kinda expect from what feels like a "prototype" tech. is this an oversight or more of a balancing choice Stardock decided on? I was kinda hoping for more HP boosting armor, im pretty sure there was alot of options at various tires in GalCiv 2.
I know you can get techs that give a percentage increase in HP but with the smaller ships its basically useless seeing as a 15%HP increase is just like 1hp for a cargo ship :/. Also they are now mostly in specialist techs so it seems like other options are better in most cases. In fact if you use the "unlock" cheat for all techs a cargo ship only has 14 base hp. And of course the Precursor hull reinforcement tech is kinda a moot point as its got from beyond mortality.
