Materials

Summary

All objects consist of certain material or materials.
Based on the material composition of the object, materials give them special properties.
These properties are important in different situations:

  • Structural durability: Has a high impact on spaceship design. Specifically on the frame and spots that are under heavy stress.
  • Armor value, Density, and Transformability are important when choosing the material for armor.
    • The outer plating of a spaceship or station is considered as armor.
  • Weight is a factor when using dense, heavy, or just a lot of materials for a large ship (such as a capital ship).
    • Ships with large weight value need more thrust power to move.


Materials can break or withstand damage in different ways:

  • Materials can break.
    • Shape and depth of the breakage vary based on the material properties, and impact energy.
  • Materials can fracture.
    • The more durable materials don't immediately get destroyed or break off parts, but rather fracture. Some materials fracture faster than others.
