- Reinforced Ballistic Armor - 50% more effective against missile and ballistic attacks
So the literature says this is a mix of Hardened Armor and Reactive Armor.
Both are listed as having 32 points of armor per ton. RBA on has only 24. Why?
Armor Hardened Ferro gets half the Hardened bonus of 50% more armor, yet RBA doesn't.
Again, why?
I've tried using it and it feels more exuberantly titled that what is delivered.
By intent?

Sarna says it is 12 points per ton which is roughly 1/4 less than standard armor. Hardened armor is 8 points per ton (but 50% incoming dmg). So I think its quite accurate, except that it does not take up additional slots. As so often I followed the Roguetech example. Let it use another 10 slots and it gets very undesirable I suppose.

It simply doesn't make sense.
But if that is your answer, I guess we all have to live with it.

Edit:

Seems to me if it half of each type it should still be at 32 points as both armors have.
Gain +50% armor (Hardened aspect) then 50% Reactive (or -25% damage).
As it is now, it works but its squishy.

Just reasoning "in discussion" at this point.
