Comments

There are two main uses of this SEXP over ship-guardian. First, it can be used to make ships appear less artificially-kept-alive by having their health stop dropping at an earlier (or even random) point. Second, some ships are capable of dealing so much damage that they can destroy a ship under standard guardian before it can kick in, which can be averted by having guardian protection kick in earlier.
