What exactly is "hull"...

<< < (2/3) > >>

Lochiel:
I try to use structure to refer to the perma, armor to refer to the rebuildable part, and hull to refer to them both.

Halogamb:
On the ship I fly on, we kind of built our own vocabulary a bit. We use a variety of terms for the rebuildable armor, "Armor, hull armor, hull (even, though outsiders on our ship might be confused)" When it comes to perma, the two terms we use the most are perma and red, for the red hit markers. To shout that the enemy armor is down, "They're red!" is what will be used almost all the time, again for red hit markers. When we talk about the integrity of their actual perma hull, we use "perma". Sorry if it doesn't make sense xD It probably isn't conventional but it's what works for us currently!

Piemanlives:
I refer to the entirety of it as the hull and divided into two categories, obviously one is armor and the other is essentially structural integrity.

Armor is used to protect the structure of the vessel, without that structure the entire thing falls apart.

Thomas:
When I say 'hull' I'm usually talking about the hull component. And like most, I'll start shouting 'hull hull hull', even though it's the armor that's broken. I consider the armor to the be the armor, and the hull to be the permanent HP.

pandatopia:
Hmm, ever since first being an engineer I've always seen hull refer to the permahull, while armor or hull armor is the well, hull armor.

If someone refers to the hull armor as "hull" I am quick to remind them.

I once had a weird conversation where I said squid hull is pretty high and someone kept telling me it was the lowest in the game until I asked if he meant armor instead...

Hull = permahull! >:O
