ships help: defenses

There are quite a few defenses you can get for a ship.
Not all ships come with all defenses, but you can upgrade them with most things.
Note that the more armour you add, the bigger your ship gets and so, the slower it moves.
To see what defenses your ship has, type defs.
Defensive armour:
This comes in the form of plates which slide together around your ship. The physical bond formed when the plates meet reinforces your ship against all attacks.
Max: 150000, or 160000 with defense crystals.
Note: for every 3 units of armour, your ship size will go up by 1.
Shielding:
The shielding projects a forcefield of thin energy around your ship.
Shielding will turn away at the loss of its own power, laser attacks and some plasma attacks.
Note that for every 1000 units of shielding, 1 unit of size is added to your ship.
Maximum: 150000.
Obfuscation field
This projects a smaller energy field around your ship, aimed at disrupting sensors.
Note that Obfuscation field will draw directly from your charge when up.
the charge command adjusts accordingly.
the higher this field is in level the more likely it will be able to subvert some damage.
Notes to also be aware of:
1. When the field goes up, providing enemies have not seen you already, you will become hard to spot, however enemies will triangulate your position eventually.
2. If you fire your weapons or do something that attracts attention you will be spotted instantly.
3. Move constantly to use this defense most effectively.
This defense does not impact your ship's size.
Maximum: 5 for civilians, 6 for military.
Evasive mode:
this defense gives your computer the random chance of dodging an incoming attack by jerking the ship one way or the other.
Evasive mode only works when using autopilot and moving.
Evasive mode does not add anything to your ship's size and can be upgraded multiple times.
Holovid:
the holovid projects a fake image of your ship at a different location in order to try to confuse enemy ships.
It does not add anything to your ship's size.
Commands for your defenses:
defensive armour: def
Shields: shields
Obfuscation field: obf , off, status>
Evasive mode: evade
Holovid: holovid
