One reason the more I like seafactions. Mineral costs are plenty, but the flexibility is potentially way bigger!!

Besides that plasma cutter, the whole Hive navy had no armor on it's ships, impact cruisers could sink them all with 2 shots on long range fire.

How many times do I have to say this.
Bombard doesn't use armor!

I know that, Kody. That's why all the vessels I saw were bombarded from two tiles away. Off course if PEACE/Hive also would have had impact guns on their ships at that time...

Armor on ships makes sense if you expect enemy noodles/choppers, especially when AAA is discovered.

I would like to point out that when the ship was made the cycon didn't have choppers and AAA was still a fair way away. +3 armor without AAA isn't very useful against +6 weapons.

I would like to point out that at that time CyCon didn't had +6 weapons. 
So for a direct attack this +3 armor would do some good.

Alright alright, I think I built that +3 armor ship ok? But I somehow remember I tried to change armor value and it didn't change its cost! So why couldn't I get +3 armor for free even if it doesn't do much? Of course I could have been wrong. It was simply because I didn't understand anything about bombardment at the time (still not sure I understand it now).

its easy
Direct attack is weapon versus armour
Bombard is weapon versus weapon
Yet another reason why being a seapower is tough-- Only a best-best has much survival chance and even then its not great. Thats why I have generally advocated a navy of cheap best weapon ships. When survivability is low, the only recourse is suerior numbers so you are doing the attacking
