Armor Upgrades

[Admin]

Armor Upgrades:

• Armor upgrades change out the composition of your mobile suits armor, granting various effects based on the material and the technologies equipped.
• Due to differences in structure and technology, unless otherwise noted a Mobile Suit cannot have multiple armor types equipped.
• To change a Mobile Suit's armor means to essentially rebuild its outer layer and certain inner works from scratch. Thus you can only change your armor type every three deployments at most.
• In addition to time, there is also the matter of resources and materials. If your Mobile Suit has already been equipped with a non-stacking armor upgrade, you must pay half the price of the original upgrade in addition to the price of your new armor type.
