General
Zynthium Plates are the final researchable base armor, commonly used in medium- to high-level bases.

Advantages
Zynthium Plates are extremely mass efficient and give much more health compared to Iridium Plates, enabling your modules to take on heavy-duty weapons.

Disadvantages
Zynthium Plates are succeeded by Capacitive Plates II-III which are more mass efficient and offer even more protection than Zynthium Plates II and V respectively.

Trivia

 * It used to be called Zynthium Alloy along with the ship version, but was simplified to Zynthium Plates.
 * The equipping time of all old blueprint items for bases was reduced by half during the May 2020 update.
