My Small Armor Table for Spaceships (really for robots as spaceships) has gained attention, and I've received a request for version that covers sizes more typical of a spaceship. And so I've built and now present a table of armor values for spaceships. It should make finding the armor values a lot easier. The image below is an easy reference, but the text version you can highlight, copy, and so-on, is here.
The DR given is the amount of dDR per system of armor. Not the DR! See
Gurps: Spaceships 1 pages 10-13 for more information on spaceships
armor.
The weights follow the size/range table, which
gives us three divisions in each size modifier. For more stats on
spaceships of that weight, see Between SM's.
The TL number is given because its useful when working with the "Boost" numbers for adjusting armor, also explaining the example armors that go up to a theoretical TL 15. The numbers I find myself checking the most are 6, which is basic Steel and thus the cheapest option, and 13, which is "Awesome Future Armor" in TL 10, which seems to be a great spot for Battlesuits, Mecha, and general space opera.
I hope you enjoy building and flying your spaceships!
Holy crap, you honored my request. Thank you! I've been using your beam weapon 'rules' in my new worldbuilding project. It's been a wonder during GURPS book production dry-spells.
