== Defenses ==

{{icon|slot s}} Small, {{icon|slot m}} Medium, and {{icon|slot l}} large utility components increase the durability of a ship by providing extra hit points. These come in three forms: shields, armor, and hull.

=== Shields ===

Shields form the first layer of hit points of a ship. They have inherent regeneration of {{green|1%}} of their base health per day. All shield techs except Psionic Barriers, Psionic Shields and Dark Matter Deflectors can be obtained through normal research. Psionic Barriers can only be acquired via [[The Doorway]] event; Psionic Shields can only be acquired as a psionically ascended empire through the appropriate [[Shroud events | Shroud Event]]; Dark Matter Deflectors can only be acquired through reverse-engineering Fallen or Awakened Empire ships.

* Effective against most energy weapons.

* Vulnerable to kinetic weapons.
* Penetrated by guided weapons, strike craft, and some exotic energy weapons (Disruptors, Arc Emitters, and Cloud Lightning).

=== Armor ===

Armor forms the second layer of hit points of a ship. All armor techs can be obtained through normal research except for Dragonscale armor which must be obtained by defeating the [[Ether Drake]].

* Penetrated by some exotic weapons (Disruptors, Arc Emitters, and Cloud Lightning).
* Lacks inherent regeneration (but can gain it through some exotic sources).
* Cost more {{iconify|Alloys}} than shields.

=== Plating ===

Hull is the last layer of a ship's hit points; the ship is destroyed if the hull points reach 0. All ships have some inherent hull points; this can be increased with these Plating components.

These can be acquired either by completing the [[Spaceborne aliens#Crystalline Entities|Crystalline Entity]] event chain, by reverse-engineering destroyed Crystalline Entities, or through searching an abandoned ship left by [[Caravaneers]].

{| class = "wikitable"
! Pros !! Cons
|-
| style="width:360pt;" | 
* Few weapon weaknesses (Energy Torpedoes, Matter Disintegrators, Mining Lasers). 
* Does not consume power.
* Does not cost {{iconify|Alloys}}.
* The only layer that matters against bypassing weapons.
* More hull allows for greater chances of emergency jump, thus increasing longterm survivability.

| style="width:360pt;" | 
* Fewer available percentage bonuses.
* Hull damage reduces ship performance.
* Most non standard weapons come with a bonus against hull in addition of the armor or shield bonus.
* Only Null Void Beam suffer from penalty against hull
* Lacks inherent regeneration (but can gain it through some exotic sources).
* Must use {{iconify|Rare Crystals}} to build.
