No, the armour points cost is missing.

Yep (says so on page 7, under "Hull Armour").

>Is there a point cost also? 

2xMass, just like hull.

There's no such limit in the rules. 

However, since most weapons have some ability to bypass armour (beams
on rerolls, needles always, P-torps and Salvo Missiles with half (round
down) the damage), you'll find that having too much armour on too
brittle a hull will result isn't too effective :-)
