Adamantine Alloy Weapon Mount

Starfinder Starship Operations Manual p.22

Cost: Special

Famously strong, pure adamantine is too expensive to incorporate into something as large as a starship, but its alloys can impart some of the metal’s infamous deadliness and impregnability.

Adamantine alloy weapons are extraordinarily destructive, capable of tearing apart unprotected targets. When such a weapon strikes a target in a quadrant without functioning shields, it deals +1 damage per damage die to the target. Against a starship with functioning deflector shields (page 20), an adamantine alloy weapon reduces that quadrant’s defense value by an additional 1 for each hit that reduces the target’s Hull Points; this stacks with the effects of weapon special properties such as array, line, and ripper.
Mounting an adamantine alloy weapon increases its BP cost by an amount equal to half the weapon’s damage dice. If a weapon’s damage is multiplied, multiply the cost increase by an equal amount.
