Starfighters original armor is DR 5 armor 10, & extra armor for tiny and smaller is DR 5 armor 15 with a -2 pilot check modifier, and all other sized ships have an increase in both DR and armor...  if they don't stack, IMO its worthless to buy extra armor for a starfighter. Sure you get 5 extra armor at the cost of -2 piloting checks, but no extra damage reduction compared to larger ships...  so, my question is do they stack? And if not, why bother upgrading armor for a starfighter?2nd question...  pros and cons of creating a completely new ship? A friend says that's a dumb idea as no shipyard other than possibly the one that built it could do any repairs on it? Any thoughts?</blockquote>
