Strategy notes
Radiation-Resistant Hulls develops the Hulls 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 +25% Hull Strength, +5% Space Defence; +5% Happiness. The principal counterpressure is that armor-piercing weapons, mobility, blockade, and economic warfare can avoid or outprice a prolonged slugging match.
Player hints
This is an inexpensive path entry. Research it early when you want to test this direction without sacrificing strategic flexibility. Favor this technology when its Hulls 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.
