Damage Control Unit

Damage control components reduce the amount of damage caused to a ship by enemy weapons fire. This helps a ship to survive longer in battle once their shields and armor have been penetrated.

Some damage control components also provide a repair function, enabling your ships to quickly perform basic repairs even while in combat. This can improve the survivability of your military ships, extending their life while in battle.

Only one damage control component is required to provide benefits – additional components do not provide cumulative effects. The only benefit to additional damage control components is that one can continue working if the others are damaged.
