armor plating

OK, I give up. Most of the things you construct using the construction bases are components you can use.

Most, but not all.

What is armor plating for? I mean, how do you use it? Can you attach it to your ship somehow?

Nope, armor plating is just something that you can sell. It fetches a higher price than metal, so it essentially gives you an incentive not to dump metal while mining gold and platinum.

The price is not good enough. I'm still dumping metal for plat.

Thanks for the answer, Accountant. I figured that was the case, but I always consider the possibility that someone else knows something I don't.

I was wondering about that to, but that was long ago and I discovered that you could not do much with the armor other then trade it.

i think you should be able to use it to upgrade your ships armor in exchange for assembly... e.g. 5 assembly + 5 armor plating = 5 extra armor

Would be cool thou if there was an option to decrease or increase the quality or strenght of your ships armor.
It would give you more control in designing your ship for its function. And each ship frame could have it's own range of class armor and in conjuction with class shields you could have a heavier armor and lower class shield to have the same effect. And of course the armor would effect the agility although it depends how much heavier the equipment of a higher class shield is in comparrison to the weight of heavier armor.
