Armor and Hull stats are interchangeable, with respect to the default equipment; ships can be roughly compared to each other by comparing the totals of their Armor and Hull values. However, a ship with a more Armor offers potentially superior protection, as this armor can be upgraded.
For example, when comparing the Imperial Spectre to the Shadow Stealth Craft, the Spectre has 60 more total Armor + Hull, because although the Shadow has almost twice as much Armor, it has only a bit more than a third the Hull value. This advantage disappears when both are upgraded to *2 armors such as Tritanium; the Spectre ends up with 20 less A + H. Upgrade once again, to *3 armor, and the Shadow becomes clearly superior in defense, with 300 more A + H than the Spectre. All this upgrading comes at a price, of course, but the example shows that the Armor + Hull system allows for a more complex and varied approach to damage protection.
For more on ship statistics, see the Ship layout section of the Fighting page.
This is a sortable list; click on the symbol next to Armor, for example, and the listings will be arranged by armor value. Change the order from ascending to descending order with subsequent clicks. The list is in alphabetical order; if you want to see ships by faction, click on the 'Faction #' icon.
A + H Max: Maximum armor, at Conventional armor V (Adamantium). Therefore, Armor times five + Hull. For Union ships, where the maximum armor is Ebidium armor VI, the formula used is Armor times six + Hull. To determine the maximum for Union-owned Neutral ships, add to the listed A+H, the base armor value once more. For example, a neutral Behemoth, with base armor value 405, has a maximum A + H of 2745 for Empire, Federation, or Neutral pilots, fitted with Adamantium. Adding the armor value of 405 to this total shows that, for Union pilots with Ebidium, the Behemoth can have a maximum A + H value of 3150.
Note: Asterisks(*) in the following table appear in the "Rank # Faction" column to allow the sort functionality to work correctly in that column. Previously, the alphanumeric sort was causing 10-14th rank ships to sort incorrectly in relation to 1st rank ships.
