Armor

Armor is a plating applied to hulls to increase their armor points in exchange for increasing weight. Armor can be researched in the Naval Lab, with each category of armor gaining a greater base weight and a higher points to weight ratio.( Note: the more weight/armor you have on a ship the longer the repair time of that ship will be )

Naval Lab

Iron

The first category of armor, iron is relatively heavy for the protection it provides. Iron is the first category of armor unlocked in Battle Pirates, and is described as "a light-weight metal", and it is added that it "protects against artillery blasts".

Iron Stats (1.5 Armor Points / Ton)

Level	Armor Points	Weight
I	15	10 tons
II	30	20 tons
III	60	40 tons
IV	120	80 tons

Steel

The second category of armor, steel is lighter than its predecessor iron, but heavier than its successor, titanium. Steel is described as "an iron and carbon alloy", and "both strong and lightweight".

Steel Stats (2.5 Armor Points / Ton)

Level	Armor Points	Weight
I	50	20 tons
II	110	44 tons
III	242	97 tons
IV	532	213 tons

Titanium

The third category of armor, titanium is lighter than its predecessor steel, but heavier than its successor, depleted uranium. It is added that "titanium's corrosion resistance makes it an ideal material for hull armor".

Titanium Stats (3.5 Armor Points / Ton)

Level	Armor Points	Weight
I	105	30 tons
II	231	66 tons
III	508	145 tons
IV	1,118	319 tons

Depleted Uranium

The fourth and final category of armor, depleted uranium has the highest ratio of armor points to weight. Depleted uranium is described as "semi-radioactive and heavy", and is "the ultimate armor for your ship".

Depleted Uranium Stats (4.5 Armor Points / Ton)

Level	Armor Points	Weight
I	203	45 tons
II	446	99 tons
III	980	218 tons
IV	2,156	479 tons
