====== Armour ======

Armour is really heavy!  Most vehicles won't need any armour;  only those that expect to face weapons fire should worry about it.

Consult the table below to find the mass of armour at your Technology Rating.

Choose how much Damage Reduction you want your vehicle to have.  Every point of Damage Reduction will decrease incoming damage from each attack by one point.  Take a look at the sort of damage inflicted by weapons to see how much you want to install.  

Multiply that Damage Reduction by the Area of your vehicle.  That is the total volume of armour, in liters, you want to install.

Multiply that volume of armour by the Mass and Cost values for your Technology Rating to find the total Mass and Cost of your armour.
