Improved Ferro-Aluminum Armor

Description
Improved Ferro-Aluminum armor is an armor type used on WarShips, JumpShips, and DropShips. Due to the sheer size of DropShips, WarShips, and JumpShips, standard armor may require too much mass, restricting weapons or cargo carrying capability. The Improved Ferro-Aluminum armor adds more protection per ton, but is both more expensive and bulkier than standard Ferro-Aluminum armor. As such, it cannot be used on anything smaller than a DropShip, but its cost typically restricts its use to WarShips or JumpShips.

Improved Ferro-Aluminum armor served as the basis for Ferro-Carbide armor used on some WarShips.
