Medium tier armour block type
So another suggestion for a armoured block that sits between the light armour and heavy armour in terms of weight, resources and defence, at this moment we got paper thin or lead weight for the choices and with the piecing nature of weapons like artillery and railguns we are only really left with 2 options in combat.
1. Use light armour and hope to avoid the fire that will wreck the ship.
2. Use heavy armour and hope the shells don't hit anything vital.
A nice middle ground of being able to up armour vital areas without too much weight on the ship or even to shave off weight in places heavy armour might not be needed, as an example of cost, the light armour block takes 25 steel plate and the heavyt requires 150 and 50 grids, the medium could instead us 75 steel plates and 25 grid, though maybe 15 grids might be better.
Overall I think the extra armour option would go a long way to adding some design options for engineers in the game.
