armor but fewer guns, shields but if they go down your screwed, or internal armor
while I'm at it, storage or factories?
neoshaf all of them combined, only use factories, no storages (except battery storage)
neoshaf Shields are better than armor (they protect your weapons against direct hits. Internal armor is a must! Factories are better than storage (directer supply of resources).
It is all a balancing act, you must find the right balance for your ship.
neoshaf mostly armour/armor because survivalbility is good (for me atleast) and factories (because storage are redundant, except battery storage)
But like all of the people above said, a well balance one is better

Alpha Shields are better then armor
No, they are both equal. "All parts are created equal."
neoshaf yeah, like what alpha said, you have to find the right balance
ImTired "but some parts are more equally than others"
ImTired Yep, armor is then needed to protect the shields and the inner parts. But only armor is worse than no armor but with shields in my opinion.
ImTired are you sure about that
kieffer5101 Communism: We are all equal, but our great leader is more equal than us.
(No offence to the communists around here, just a stupid joke!)
Alpha it all depends, there are some good shieldless ships out there, like a battery powered cannon wall
kieffer5101 As I said, in my opinion. I agree that ships can be good without shields, I just advice to get shields because a big part of the game is balanced around having them.
