"A matrix of advanced armor that provides Pharmakon hulls with defensive capabilities whilst also reinforcing their Phasing technology."

Stats
Note: Fragment crafting for levels I-II yields a Credit that can be instantly equipped.

General
Node Armor is a Pharmakon exclusive armor, designed to also improve the capacity of Phase Screens.

Elemental Node Armors provide damage resistance as well.

Advantages
The Node Armor is the standard issue armor for Pharmakon Hulls. While Resonant Armor increases the shield energy of Altairian Hulls, and Thonian Armor increases the ablative recovery of Umbra Hulls, the Node Armor increases the Phase Screen of Pharmakon Hulls and thus also increases the Phase Charge Rate.

Elemental Node Armor also provides additional damage resistance against certain damage types, making the hull more durable when facing enemies armed with weapons of only 1 damage type.

Disadvantages
Elemental Node Armors require elements and a level 3 RI to craft, making it a hassle to obtain them.

Node Armor is restricted to Pharmakon Hulls only.

Trivia

 * This is the first armor to boost screen energy.
 * A bug, fixed in early April 2019, prevented certain players from unlocking the crafting recipe for the Elemental Node Armors.
 * Its repair time was nullified as a result of the late September 2020 update, which updated the repair time of all Tier 7 ships to be invariant to equipment.
