Strategy notes
Quantum-Resistant Armor develops the Armor discipline within Armored Attrition Fleet. Survive damage, repair away from home, and win campaigns that exhaust lighter fleets and fragile logistics. Its immediate value is +60% Hull Strength, +25% Space Defence; +5% Ground Defence. The principal counterpressure is that armor-piercing weapons, mobility, blockade, and economic warfare can avoid or outprice a prolonged slugging match.
Player hints
This tier begins to define an empire. Compare its resource demand with the other technologies competing for your laboratories. Favor this technology when its Armor benefits reinforce your current economy, fleets, or frontier. Pause the branch if its expected RP per tick is too diluted or its resource costs would stall higher-priority projects.
