Ok so I can see where you can research armor for your ships.
I don't see any techs that give your ships any other types of defences.
I do see modules you can put on your starbases for shields... but nothing for mobile ships.
I don't see the 3rd type of defence, the one for missiles, anywhere.
I have surfed, but it seems everyone already has this knowledge and thus there is no discusion of it.
Where can I find info concerning how to put defences other than armor on my ships?
Thanks.
