(spaceships) SM based Hull dST/HP

Spaceship durability?
I went with tanks in space. Battle wagons have 70% armour, sub SM vrf point defence, a single main weapon, maybe a secondary shared with the sub SM. Civilian vessels are cheap tin cans and vulnerable to vrf fire. Battleship main "guns" have missile reach. Missile Cruisers are a thing - ditto (torpedo boat) Destroyers - but versus 70% armour, with hardening, compartment optional rule (damage reduction /2), and high rof lasers, plus Xray antimissile missles, battleships kill battleships (slowly).
Frigates are low dr multirole - tougher than civilians but not designed for the battle line.
Edit: writeups of Area ECCW, Damage Reduction, etc, see Spaceships #3 & #4.
