1) each coat of armor adds 20 structural points
2) all armor must be destroyed before rolling on the Vehicle Damage Table
3) Max speed is reduced by 10 kph per layer
4) in a crash each layer of armor reduces the speed 10 kph for damage purposes
5) armor may be repaired by re-layering . Installation time is 6 days for each layer

Inertia screen- uses 1 SEU per minute of operation and reflects half the dice of damage done by ballistic attacks and crashes at a cost of 1 SEU per die of damage.
Holo Screen- not technically a defense screen, the holo screen hides the vehicle by disguising it's presents as a natural part of the landscape or a pre-looped camouflage visual. It uses 3 SEU per minute.
