Add Gabions!
Not Enough Votes
Y'know, the cages filled with pebbles and rocks!
Gabion blocks would have block integrity somewhere between light and heavy armour (somewhere on the upper end) but they would be heavier than heavy armour since they are literally a bunch of rocks.
Therefore there would be no reason to use them on ships. They would, however, be great for base building especially on planets, and fit well with the advanced industrial feeling of the game!
Their recipe could use gravel, giving a use for the resource that used to clog up people's inventories unless you wanted loads of reactors.
Perhaps if someone is trying to grind their way into your base, grinding the gabion cage could cause its stones to pour out, crushing the invader beneath a pile of rocks!

I really like the idea of cheaper but less mass-efficient armour types. Neat idea!
