Ablative hull armor in the game has to either be renamed or reworked.
It only gives protection against a few weapons types which is wrong, it should give protection against ALL energy weapon types but with no protection against kinetic hits, and best of all would be limited duration of protection, say reduce hull damage by 50% for 3 minutes "sustained" fire or something.
Basicly the ablative armor disintegrates as a ship takes hits, and it definatley protects against Polaron weapons since that is what the Dominion use but in STO however it does no such thing. :(
If your going to use something as iconic as ablative armor then please portray it in a reasonably correct manner.
