Documentation error

You are not missing anything. There is no "nearly stronger" stat or mechanic, the sentence is simply wrong.

What the trait actually does is the second half of it, the enhanced armor on all your ships. The first part is the flavour line and it has come out garbled.

I checked a few of the other race traits to see whether the descriptions were broken generally, and those read normally, so this looks like the one string rather than something widespread.

Worth flagging either way. It is the sort of thing that is easy to scroll past and assume you have misread it.

That line is wrong, and it reads like an editing pass that stopped halfway. "nearly stronger alloys" is not describing anything.

What the trait actually does is give every ship you build a 25 percent bonus to armor rating. It is not conditional, and it is not limited to a hull size or a ship role, it applies to all of your ships.

So the effect is fine and the sentence is the broken part. The string needs correcting on our side.

I am asking for the line to be corrected.  I am not worried about the actual effect in the game.
