xNYROx Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Does anyone have any clue what metal ships are made out of? I have been looking for this in the lore everywhere and could not find a reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfninjajedi Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 What kind of ships? Starfighters? Transports? Capital ships? Frigates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfninjajedi Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) Freighters Fresh out of the factory freighters just have armored plating. Doesn't say what kind, but more then likely its just steel(or a variant) but given the various companies around and large number of Freighters that were made. Their hulls would probably be different in terms of what they put into their Freighters, this isn't even counting the ones that get modified.

Smokestalker Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I'm sure that it is something pretty hefty if the ship in question is equipped with a hyper drive. Seems to me it would need to be incredibly sturdy to withstand light speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegendaryBlade Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Maybe they stole duranium from the Star Trek Universe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osetto Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Titanium, Alusteel, and Durasteel. Those were the ones I was able to find. I imagine durasteel to be the most plentiful/in-demand/reliable for multipurpose starships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They dont go lightspeed in 'normal space' so it probably isnt relevant for the actual armor but the structure has to be sturdy I'm sure. There are several kinds of 'steel' in the universe that they use for structure, armor etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
