Not necessarily. A small suit (powered, as well), is much easier to armor than a massive spaceship. You can also armor only the most vital parts, and tailor the armor for what the soldier is most likely to get hit by. Without going into unneeded details about armor versus energy, kinetic, etc. attacks, we just make it a nice easy Armor Value.
