Spaceships hull armor…solid?

Polydamas · 09-14-2022, 06:33 PM

When I saw the original thread topic, I thought it was about whether the GURPS Spaceships rules assume thick solid armour like in space opera or Whipple Shields like on some real spacecraft.

There are some quibbles whether spaceships with a lot of armour should have their SM reduced because so much mass is in high-density armour, but any simple rule has limits.
