Reinforced hull is commonly researched in order to provide superior durability for a team's Small Ships. A Miner is often a vulnerable target, and a few upgrades to hull may allow it the precious time it needs to escape. A Wraith, initially starting at only 300 health, will be able to survive harsh Small Ships combat much more easily given the ability to take a few more hits. A Corvette on the other hand receives a far larger bonus than most other immediately available small ships, allowing it's maximum health to rise well above that of a Wraith and Miner. Though the effects of reinforced hull may not show as much during the late game, it will have a clear effect during the early game and grant your team's Small Ships pilots an edge.
Miners will receive an additional 30 health per level of Reinforced Hull. Wraiths will receive an additional 35 health per level of Reinforced Hull. Chompers will receive an additional 100 health per level of Reinforced Hull. All other small ships will receive an additional 50 health per level of Reinforced Hull.
