Talonite Armor

"Medium weight Xeno Division armor built from a composite alloy that allows your ship to withstand tremendous punishment from enemy fire."

General
The Talonite Armor is a powerful ship armor with enhanced durability, but is limited to Xeno Division Hulls and better.

Advantages
Talonite Armor provides even more health than Zynthium, allowing your ships to easily withstand lots of damage. They also give less XP, limiting your fleet level so that you don't have to face stronger enemies.

Disadvantages
Talonite Armor is rather mass inefficient, costing you lots of mass should you plan to toughen up your ships. However, T6 ships have no problem fitting them as they have excellent mass capacity.

Trivia

 * Talonite Armor is the first ship armor to break the standard 1:1 repair to health ratio.
 * 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.
