You forgot this is stackable, enhanceable and can be used with defense bonus specials.

Take you 1st example,

A) Thud4 is a 1 salvo weapon, so you get only 6 damages less with 1 Ballistic plate 3.

therefore you can get 150-6= 144 damage

even with 4 plates, you can only reduce 4*6=24 (16%) damages.

Well in this case you are better off using LA etc.

B) With Ripper4, you have 234 damage and 3 salvo.

so you ship will get 234-(3*6)= 216 damage, thats a 18 less damage.

now some ships have 4 armor slots, so you put in 4 ball plate 3 and you will get

234-(4*3*6)=162 damages only. You actually reduces 72 (31%) damages.

C) And with shredder cannons with 248 damages and 4 salvo and I have 4 ball plate 3.

248-(4*4*6)=138 or less 96 (38.7%) damage.

D) So you see The higher the salvo and the more armor slot you have, the better this plate armor will shine.
