Ferro-fibrous armor (FF) is a special type of armor used by vehicles and BattleMechs. It provides more protection per ton than standard armor, but takes up more space on the 'Mech or vehicle. The maximum amount of protection is not changed; merely the weight of armor required to achieve that level of protection. For a unit which already has maximum armor protection, it is therefore considered a weight-saving measure, at the cost of critical space. The weight savings for Endo Steel are greater than those saved by ferro-fibrous armor, but it is more costly and obviously more difficult to repair or add as an upgrade to a 'Mech.
Armor - FF - BattleMechs & Vehicles is manufactured on the following planets:
