− | ==Description==
| |
− | '''Ferro-Fibrous''' armor (FF) is a special type of armor used by vehicles and [[BattleMech]]s. Utilizing a weave of ferro-steel, ferro-titanium, and diamond weave fibers which boosts the tensile strength of the plating<ref>''TechManual'', p. 205</ref>, it provides more protection per ton than standard armor (12% for [[Inner Sphere]] FF, 20% for [[Clan]] FF), but takes up more space on the 'Mech or vehicle (14 for inner sphere, 7 for clan). 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.

The Draconis Combine was able to re-create it in [[3040]].<ref>''TechManual'', p. 205</ref> Later, the [[Free Worlds League]] and [[Lyran Alliance]] would develop [[Light Ferro-Fibrous|Light]] and [[Heavy Ferro-Fibrous|Heavy]] versions of Ferro-Fibrous armor.<ref>''TechManual'', p. 205</ref>

| |
− | FF Armor is a [[Rules Level#Standard Rules|Standard Rules]] piece of Equipment under the current system and was [[Rules Level/THB#Rules Level 2|Rules Level 2]] under the previous system. Armor of this type produced in the Inner Sphere has a [[Technology Rating#E|Technology Rating of E]] while Clan produced armor has a [[Technology Rating#F|Technology Rating of F]]. As with all combat vehicle armor types Ferro-Aluminum is assumed to have a [[Barrier Armor Rating|Barrier Rating]] of 10.
