Hull

The origin of the Hull (the concept of it)
In real life, the hull was introduced (the word/concept of it) back to almost the 4th century [it’s true, but may not be historically accurate]. In short, the more of a material (or mix of materials) you laid onto what would be the ship’s armour during it’s creation, the stronger the armor plating would be (with a unintentional consequence of the ship or seaworthy vessel being slow due to heavy armour [I sence a cliche here]).

Definiton of Hull
According to the definition of ‘the hull’, the hull is “the main body of a ship or other vessel, including the bottom, sides, and deck but not the masts, superstructure, rigging, engines, and other fittings”. In Roblox Galaxy, Hull is the armor integrity of a ship that is calculated through materials used, ship class, and armour shape/form.

Advantages of Hull
The Hull is the primary armour and exterior of a ship. Hull is calculated by what class the ship is, what materials are used, and the shape/form of the armour. The Hull (or ship armour) can resist damage from incoming phaser, spinal fire.

Disadvantages of Hull
While the Hull is the primary armour of a ship, it’s better to retreat when your shields are down, or before your hull hits critical levels. The Hull takes more damage from incoming cannon, spinal fire. Some advice, unless you’re sure you can take on an enemy ship with low hull and no shields, it’s better to get your health back up before fighting again.

Overall opinion of Hull
In short, having a ship with strong hull health can help you survive battles longer. With more disadvantages than advantages, its better to compensate low ship health with good pvp skills and evasive reflexes.
