What exactly is "hull"...

(1/3) > >>

Hoja Lateralus:
The ship has a rebuildable armour and un-rebuildable hp. And which one of that is "hull" actually? Becuase mostly we say hull meaning the armour but game (at least one achievement) treats hull as hp (or, as some part of community says - permahull). Some people say "armour" meaning the armour and "hull" meaning the hp. So I'd like game and community to just stick with one version. What are your thoughts?

shaelyn:
huh.  I think of the components as the hull armor and the hull.  when I say hull in game, it could be that the hull armor's breaking, or it's broken and the hull itself is vulnerable.  it doesn't matter, just get to the component and repair it!  XD  ...but for this discussion, I feel like hull in casual conversation can mean either one, but armor is strictly the component that is rebuildable.

for serious discussions, I'd refer to the hull as non-rebuildable and armor as rebuildable, but in game, I think people can figure out which component to go running to regardless of whether you say hull or armor.

Replaceable:
Generally for me.
Armour-The rebuildable bit.
Perma- The unrebuildable bit.

Hull Armour, and Permanent Hull respectively

But saying "hullhullhullhull hull!" Usually gets what you want across :D

Sprayer:
Isn't the hull the entirety of permahull and hullarmor?

GreyTea:
Don't quote me on this haha,

Armor is the part you can rebuild which would represent plates of metal on the side of the ship, the ''perma'' is the hull integrity of the ship itself,

imagine Gatling would strip the armor, so the metal plates would be riddled with bullets and any barricades to hide behide destroyed,

then mortar fire destroys the hull integrity of the ship and critical parts like the bow of the ship, and that is what effects the frame of the ship and the nose,

so to answer your question the hull is the perma, the rebuilable part is the armor.
