after finally getting around to researching better armor after a month of waiting it was complete and I go to my superdreadnaught design since it's not yet been produced for lack of a 1.25 m ton military slip and click new armor, to my suprise it lost weight. So interested I clicked up the armor size a few times, and after a bit it went back to it's max weight with thicker armor. So Anyway what I am asking is all the improvements in armor (lighter, tougher, stronger) just represented by decreased weight? (actually weighs less, or less is needed for the same protection level)
So if this is correct then two races with differing tech levels but the same armor thickness would still have equal armor levels, but the one with better armor tech could fit in more of other types of components?
If so very interesting and that gets me planning.
