Light Armor

Description
Adds Light Armor blocks which offer less protection than standard armor, but are also lower mass.

Light armor blocks use ~25% fewer resources while offering half as much health and reduced penetration and explosion resistance when compared to standard armor. They are certainly a better defensive option than bare corridors though.

The lower mass translates to more maneuverable ships with higher top speeds.

Light Armor blocks are integrated into Career Mode and have a corresponding unlock blueprint.


**Mod is balanced and tested against standard Cosmoteer parts to offer new design choices for broader gameplay.**

Don't forget to check out the other mods in the JSC collection! Have fun!!

Should use half as much resources if you get half the benefit and half the weight.

Nice as decorative armor and also as light armor for rocket carriers and railgun ships

Do you plan on adding the armor + structure parts at some point? It'd be very much appreciated, but there's no rush.

Sure thing! Have at it!

Hey man, my friends and i were putting together a little modpack, just for us, would it be okay if we used your mod?

Fixed crashes related to crew construction

Hey, for anyone wanting to fix the crash for 0.23.1, I have found that the following works for me:

Navigate to Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\799600\2880648362\armor_light_wedge
Open the corresponding rules file
Change CreatePartWhenDestroyed value to cosmoteer.structure_wedge

For similar help regarding the Heavy Armor mod by JFJohnny5, please refer to that workshop item's comment section.

Keep in mind that steam will try to automatically revert these changes. You may either need to pause downloads on steam to prevent this, or clone the mod to your user mod directory before applying changes, until JFJohnny5 patches this themselves

It's going to take me a bit of time to dig into this and my other mods. Due to other obligations, I likely won't get to do that until mid-August unfortunately :(
