Correct. None of my ships would do very well in cinematic, except maybe
my superdreadnought with the 12, 2 arc PTs.

No, we don't have any Kravak players. I do wonder why it doesn't have
protection against PTs. I know the structure is lowish, but I haven't
sen any major problems with a 20% hull 10% armour mix. It seems to do
fairly well against PTs.
 
What do other people do for structure/armour loads?
