It completely makes sense.  Hell doesn't have Surface to Air
missiles; it has demons.  And even a demon with claws that
do Str+2d6 damage, couldn't hurt the Unity.

Hellstrome was not stupid at all.  He built the ship to
fight *his* enemy, and keeping the armor as low as possible
gave him more weight that could be allocated to his fighting
forces.  Faustian Devices *are* limited in the weight they
can carry.

Plus, you're comparing a ship that is over 40 years old to
"modern" military equipment.  It's just not a valid
comparison, and that doesn't even touch on the unfounded
analogy of ground vehicular armor (power armor) versus
aircraft armor.

Of course, besides the logical flaws, none of your arguments
are aided by your derogatory comments.  Perhaps you should
rethink your position and technique.
