Topic: SU needed for armor

I don't understand the following rationale:
Unless I'm mistaken, a small ship needs a lot of SU for each armor point. Whereas a much bigger one needs a lot less SU for the same number of armor points.
Why so?

Re: SU needed for armor

It has long been a fact in Starmada that larger ships "pay" less (in terms of space units) for shields. With the introduction of armor and ECM as alternative methods of defense, it was necessary to scale them accordingly, so that the equivalent amount of shields, armor, and ECM would all require the same amount of space.
