Ablative armor (armor blocks which break and fracture to disperse energy / impact)
Not Enough Votes
As the regular armor blocks offer much protection, I feel it could add a bit more flair or protection by adding a sacrificial layer of armor which breaks and fracture upon impact. Much like that of Star Treks ablative hull designs and modern armor architecture.
This would add a sense of realism as well as a feeling of damage as you see pieces of the ships armor flake off in defended sections without the performance impact of every single armor block being fracturable.
These could be in the shape of regular blocks or maybe even some form of the SE1 panels.
