How to increase the hit points of ships I make.

from Stardock Forums
I've been playing Gal Civ for a long time now, I love this game! My problem is this:
IN the new mod, I started playing at a higher level than usual, and I saw an minor race. This minor race had corvette's with over 60 hit points, and frigates with over 150. HOw can I increase the hit points of the ships my planets make?

Try to get the military reources.Also by building certain improvements such as star ship foundry,shipyard etc.. would help.Also some trade goods such as tri-stronium steel will up them 25%.

Also noticed you are new here.If you would like to try empiring with us then follow below link and have a look at our webpage at the second link.
Happy converting!

I thought military resources and Starship boosting buildings only affected attack and defence (Stardock said that the HP boost from those was a bug). I know Tri-Strontium Steel, the War Party, and certain techs (Reinforced Hulls, Exotic Alloys, etc.) boost HP.

#2 is correct.

The minor might have a racial ability or an ability coming from its political party. War party gives +50 and it could have devoted some of its picks to HP as well.

What about shipyards and other planet enhancements which boost the "starship quality" ? I thought they only improved the hit points of ships produced (before of after the building of the enhancement). On the contrary military (red) ressources boost the "military abilities" i.e. attack and defense of all ships.
