 [[File:Armourpumps.png|thumb|right|noborder|The NSV Tycoon's Armourpump setup, with the Well in the middle. Notice how the location of the pumps correspond to which armour-quadrant they repair]]
+<br>
 ==Ship integrity==
+Each vessel has a set number "health" points refering to the integrity of the superstructure of the ship, essentially the pieces that keep the ship together. Not all ships are created equally and will have varying degrees of maximum integrity. A ship's "health" is split between structural integrity and armor plating. Structural integrity is the raw "health bar" of the ship, whereas armor plating represents just that - armor that protects the primary superstructure from damage. This is represented as a seperate health pool (visible below structural integrity on a tactical console).<br>
 ==Armor quadrants==
 '''Disclaimer: The armor quadrants system is only currently only enabled on the main player ship, mining ships are excluded. Other ships will have to use hull repair juice.'''
-There are four quadrants on each ship, split usually unevenly between the four. Whenever a corner of the ship is hit, that quadrant loses health and protects the main structure. '''Note: this will protect the ship from nuclear impacts.''' Any damage which is absorbed by quadrants will not cause explosions in the interior itself. When observing the overmap, each quadrant will become progressively more red as it takes damage. Areas indicated as red on your ship should avoid taking damage while piloting using the navigation console.

When observing the overmap, each quadrant will become progressively more red as it takes damage. Areas indicated as red on your ship should avoid taking damage while piloting using the navigation console.<br>
 ==Superstructure Critical==
 As the integrity of the ship drops, you will begin to hear creaking noises from the hull, indicating that the ship's integrity is near being compromised. When the superstructure integrity falls enough, you will enter '''superstructure critical''' and a voiceover will announce this to the crew before sounding an alarm.
+<br>
 Once this alarm has begun you will have 10 minutes to repair the structural integrity above 20% otherwise the ship will enter an irreperable state and explode 5 minutes afterwards.

+Each Armor Plating Nano-repair Pump or APNP can repair the respect quadrant it is attached to and the overall ship superstructure integrity. Each pump has a slider which sets how efficient it is at the cost of inceasing the System Load. Each pump has 100% capacity which can be divided between armor and integrity. Armor repair pumps repair Superstructure linearly, but repair armor plating itself differently. Attempting to repair armor that is critically damaged will have a penalty to efficiency, to repair armor plating the fastest, it is advised that Bridge staff attempt to spread the damage across all quadrants for the fastest possible repair times.<br>

+If overheated, indicated by red flashing lights, you will need to decrease the load on that particular armor repair pump to 0% and purge the system by taking a welder to cut the plating off, wrenching it, and then weld it once more to restore it to operational order. Additional armor pumps may be constructed and setup by linking the pump to the armor repair well using a multitool. '''Do note that additional pumps will add to the system load.'''<br>

+A shield is a questionably logical energy field that is projected around a ship, which can block incoming projectiles. They are generated by Shield Generators, which work somewhat akin to APNWs. Power up to 15 MWs can be allocated to Shield Generators, increasing the effectiveness of the shield.<br>
