Structural Reinforcement is too cheap, especially for ground vehicles?
Take a simple TL12 tank:
Armour 120, Hvy Gauss Cannon (HEAP: 3DD,AP15,Auto2)
Hull 120, MCr 2.5
Now add Structural Reinforcement 10 times:
Armour 120, Hvy Gauss Cannon (HEAP: 3DD,AP15,Auto2)
Hull 520, MCr 3.75
We can now take hits from the main gun for quite some time without worry. Even spacecraft scale weapons will have to wear it down slowly.
Even Grav Vehicles can play this game. A simple Grav Tank with 10 times Structural Reinforcement will perhaps cost twice as much as without, but have six times the Hull.
I hope this was not intended?
