Okay, so the armor right now is actually being reworked into the Item 2.0 system. So I don't have an answer for that currently. But when that gets implemented, we will...

Jared Huckaby · Host, Community

Armor 2.0 is in the works. It will need to be completed before we know precisely how it will affect the Phoenix. But our intention is that it should have some improved armor. We just can't tell you by how much until the full Armor 2.0 system is done.

Stephen Hosmer · Ship Designer

Yeah, so armor is currently in the works being converted to Item 2.0. And the system isn't completely fleshed out, or at least I don't have the information.

I think we covered the armor stuff. It's a big TBD, but our intention is still that it should have some more. Talk to us about the power plant.

Stephen Hosmer · Ship Designer

So when we spec'd out the Phoenix, originally it had a size seven power plant and the other ones had a size six power plant. That size doesn't exist anymore. Currently, the Andromeda has two size two power plants, which are civilian power plants, I believe. And the Phoenix isn't going to get a size upgrade, but it's going to get a grade upgrade, and it's going to be changed to a competition class power plant.

So instead of two civilian grade C power plants like there are in the Andromeda, it's going to have one or two competition grade?

Stephen Hosmer · Ship Designer

Two, yeah.

Jared Huckaby · Host, Community

Two competition grade, and you said better, so B?

Stephen Hosmer · Ship Designer

Yeah, I believe so, B, yeah.

And finally, what about the formerly known as point defense turrets, now known just as unmanned turrets?

Stephen Hosmer · Ship Designer

So the point defense turrets, we don't currently have the tech for that, so when the Phoenix goes out in 3.3 we won't have those as a part of it, but when the tech gets implemented in the future we will be adding them.
