 * If the ship's components present any hazard such as radiation, the ship must provide corresponding protective gear and, if applicable, shielding.

   - Airlock intermediate space (Airlock doors should bolt each other when the opposite door is open!)

   - Unless the ship has a gimmick in mind (like strafing or omnidirectionnal), you should focus on main thrust.
-  - You can protected thrusters with grilles
-  - Keep the exhaust zone of thrusters except for the above scenario. 3 tiles of free space for regular thrusters & 7 for large thrusters.

 # Combat guidelines
-## Ship gun usage & gunnery server ruling
-*  **Keep the armament consistant**. Non exhaustive examples below:
-    - High tech ships use laser mounts, light and directionnal armor, shields
-	- Low tech ships use ballistic mounts, and heavy armor
+These guidelines apply to all vessels. Combat requirements from other guidelines overule parts of these guidelines (such as carriers having lower power gunnery servers)
+
+*Mandatory for ships with ship mounts*
+* Gunnery console, same orientation as Shuttle Console
+* Gunnery server (see following section for more details)
+
+*Military supplies*
+* Do Not Over-supply ships - keep personnel armament to a minimum, and at most provide basic equipment - players can kit out their ships themselves! 
+  - An example is a beanbag kammerer, or a MK-58.
+
+*Non faction military ships*
+* Dedicated combat ships should be filling a unique niche in combat
+* Combat ships should also have some kind of “economy” purpose for downtime
+   - cargo bays, small R&D, chemistry, anything so long as it does not outvalue a vessel dedicated to such economy.
+
+## Gunnery server ruling
+
 * Gunnery server (power of the server depending on ship size)
   - Small: low 
   - Medium: medium & below
   - Large: high & below
   - Capital: ultra high & below by default. **Liable to exceptions on a case by case basis (discuss with maintainers).**
 
+## Ship mounts
+* All shuttles should have some kind of armaments (exception applies for (minor) factions hulls). 
+  - A couple L-85s to act as point defense is fine for regular CIV ships.
+*  **Keep the armament consistant**. Non exhaustive examples below:
+  - High tech ships use laser mounts, light and directionnal armor, shields
+	- Low tech ships use ballistic mounts, and heavy armor
 * EMP gun mounts
    - should be used to fill specific niche (like a boarding vessel, interceptor police craft etc..)

-## Scrapyard Guidelines
+## Armor & shields
+In monolith, armor & shields are what define how long your ship can sustain damage before it's insides can be punched through.
+
+*CIV ships*
+* Reinforced steel walls should be the privileged kind of armor
+* Extras (pick one, keep in mind the addition of these when calculating the price !)
+  * Directional plastitanium shielding 
+  * Energy shield (MS-100 only)
+
+*MIL ships*
+* MIL ships are granted a single layer of plastitanium walls.
+* External components (ship guns, thrusters, airlocks..) should be surrounded with plastitanium walls
+* For extra armor, you may add additionnal layers of reinforced steel walls
+
+* Extras (pick one)
+  - Directional plastitanium armor (to cover weakpoints and possibly thruster blocks!)
+  - Energy shield (MS-100 only)
+
+# Scrapyard Guidelines
 Scrapyard ships are ships that are "flying shit boxes" in spirit. 
 **This means that a ship not meeting guidelines, only to brand it as scrapyard later for it to pass review will get it merged. Scrapyard ships should be pretty shit boxes.**
