Xeno Armored Hold

"Xeno Division applied its heavy armor to cargo hold upgrades to help with resource collection."

General
The Xeno Armored Hold is an advanced version of the Armored Hold with increased health and cargo capacity. It is limited to T6 hulls and above.

Advantages
Xeno Armored Hold grants your ships incredible cargo capacity, enabling your fleet to take hundreds of millions of resources from player bases in a single attack. They are also used to collect cargo from NPC Targets.

Disadvantages
Xeno Armored Hold is very massive, taking up almost 2,000 tons at level III. This severely limits what else you can put on your ships. Unless you have excess space remaining, do not use this special just to increase your armor or cargo.

A useful strategy is to equip Xeno Armored Hold on the various ships you obtain from Alien Strike, Smash & Grab, and other events which offer blank Xeno Division Hulls and above. Since you do not have time to equip all of them for combat anyways, why not make some cheap cargo fleets?

Trivia

 * Along with other T6 equipment, this item's build time was significantly reduced during the late April 2019 update as summarized here.
 * Its repair time was nullified as a result of the early February 2021 update, which updated the repair time of all Tier 6 ships to be invariant to equipment.
