Concrete-Filled Armor Blocks
Not Enough Votes
i like to see concrete-filled armor blocks—extremely durable but too heavy for ships/mobile vehicles , making them ideal for planetary structures. These blocks would offer far higher resistance than standard armor but at the cost of mobility and versatility.
Key Features
1. Ultra-High Durability
- 3-5x the HP of heavy armor against explosions/ballistics
- Resists penetration (AP rounds deal reduced damage)
- Weak to sustained energy weapons (lasers/plasma cut through slowly)
2. Weight & Limitations
- Cannot be used on mobile grids (ships, rovers) – physics rejects them
- additional resource cost (requires gravel, concrete , and time to "cure")
- No conveyor/power passthrough – pure structural use
Why i like to see this?
- Gives Planetary Bases a Purpose – Makes them harder to raid than ships.
- New Defense Meta – Forces attackers to bring siege weapons (not just ship guns).
- Realistic Engineering – Mimics real-world bunker/military construction.
I like this feedback
I don't see why it shouldn't be allowed on mobile grids - being prohibitively heavy is going to be enough of a drawback, and it has applications in floating grids when we get water - stick a few at the bottom of a hull to lower the centre of mass and stabilise bobbing/rolling.
Anyone crazy enough to actually use concrete as ship armour was always going to do something else equally ludicrous anyway.
