DESCRIPTION
The Archer-class Reactive Plating System was designed to be attached to the outer hull and serve as [SIZE=10pt]a first[/SIZE] line of defense against energy weapons. There is also a chance that it may be able to disrupt tractor beams by rotating the hull’s electromagnetic frequency. However, this ability is not automatic and must be done manually by a skilled operator. The reactive plating system also has a chance to strengthen hull integrity upon activation. A ten second duration at best, suggestions for use of the Archer-class is to use it as a last minute resort if the commander is hoping to make use of the the ten second boost. Otherwise, the Archer-class reactive plating system may be activated at the start of any engagement.
The drawbacks of this particular plating system [SIZE=10pt]is[/SIZE] the vulnerability to both kinetic damage and ion/emp based weapon system. The system’s plating while not so fragile as to break at a single hit, can and will break apart after subsequent hits which can easily occur within an engagement opening sequence.
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Intent: To create a reactive plating system for Aurora Industries and Primo Victorian starships, as well as, to market to their respective clients.

SPECIAL FEATURES
Absorbs incoming energy from blasters, turbolasers and/or other plasma type weapons.
Temporarily strengthens hull integrity when activated (ten seconds, one post)
May be able to disrupt tractor beams by rotating the hull’s electromagnetic frequency.
Strengths:
Polarization: Enables the absorption of energy weapons, allowing for increased survivability in battle.
Disruption: May be able to disrupt tractor beams by rotating hull’s electromagnetic frequency.
Weaknesses:
Kinetic: While it can uphold against some kinetic bombardment, the Archer-class cannot withstand much of it.
Ion/EMP: This reactive plating system is not able to withstand much in the way of ion/emp weapons.
