Great minds think alike, these rules are very close to the B5 armor
rules I
wrote up, except they don't reduce thrust (makes the math a wee bit
difficult)

Armor								Cost: .5
ship mass per level
Each level of armor adds 1 row of damage boxes to the ship; these boxes
must be destroyed before the normal boxes and don't count for threshold
checks.
