Tightening one's carapace is an action that takes one standard turn length, doubling the AV bonus the carapace gives (at the base level, this will add an additional 3 AV, while at mutation level 10, this will add 8 AV); however, most non-mental actions (e.g. moving, attacking, using Sting or applying injectors; oddly, beginning sprinting is excluded from this) and some mental actions (including but not limited to use of Teleportation) will loosen the carapace, as will waiting more than one turn.
When one is knocked prone, one has a chance to be immobilized instead, which prevents the player from moving or standing up (which is to say alleviating the penalties imposed by the prone status); recovering from Immobilized requires the player to succeed at an Agility save with a target of 20; this target is reduced by 1 every 5 turns.

Advantages & Disadvantages
 |
This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary. |
Advantages
- Gives excellent armor which scales extremely well with level.
- Gives heat resist and cold resist which scale well with level.
- Completely weightless.
- Causes members of the Tortoise faction to start friendly to the player.
- At 10th level, is equivalent to a
zetachrome lune with a higher heat and cold resistance and no acid/electric resistance.
Disadvantages
- At low levels, the DV penalty is strong enough to outweigh the AV bonus.
- Recovering from prone may take longer.
- Permanently takes up the player's body slot.
