Intent: To create a specialised armor that is both light weight and more durable then standard armor plating that can be used in the production of future fighter Designs.
Development Thread: http://starwarsrp.net/topic/48890-hard-as-a-dragons-scale/
Manufacturer:ZyTech
Model:Cryonium Ablative Plating, Fighter
Affiliation: Open Market
Modularity: None
Production: Mass Produced
Material:Cryonium, Durasteel
Description: Cryonium plating is produced by stacking and compressing hundreds of layers of .1012mm thick sheets of Cryonium and durasteel together until a out layer of Cryonium is achieved and the end result plating has reached a thickness of 25.4mm . The bonding process involves extreme heat exposure and very carefully applied pressure. The resulting Ablative plating is then bolted and hot welded onto a fighter frame that has been fitted with 2mm thick durasteel plating that has been drilled with bolt on points to have the Plating attached to it.
The Ablative Plating works by absorbing energy and disipating it throughout the plate causing the plate to vaporize safely discharging the effects of the strike over a large area lowering the amount of damage that the Fighter takes, the higher energy or damaging the strike is the more vaporization that happens. This armor is very effective against energy based weapons and results in a net gain of 19.145% in armor effeciency as well as a result of 7.31% reduced weight on the over all fighter which in turns lowers its mass which results in better turnout from energy production and thrusters. Versus missiles and torpedos the resulting increase is only around +3.513 and causes quicker decay of the plate.
Cryonium Plating takes considerable time to replace and any damaged plates must be replaced and as they can not be repaired or patched. This added down time is an unfortunate side effect of the plating and can take several hours for a trained technician to remove one damage plate and replace it. The highest recommendation is to use a trained crew of 12 to 14 engineers who can reduce replacement and refitt time considerably. A well trained team can replace all of the plating in a little less then 36 hours taking only minimal breaks and a standard sleep break.
Cryonium's Plating's biggest down fall is the cost associated with it, a standard x-wing would cost 25% more to purchase with the Cryonium Ablative plating. This mark up is associated with the cost of producing the cryonium, manufacturing the plating and the bolt on plate required to properly fit it as well as the cost of rigging the attachment plating onto the frame. In most vessels the cost increase will range between 24% to 35% more per vessel depending on the size, the price increase can be calculated at about 1.37% more per meter of length. To fit a destroyer sized craft would triple if not quadruply the cost of the vessel and add considerable time to its manufacture. All in all Cryonium Ablative Plating would be better suited to elite pilots in elite fighter squads as its price makes it to costly to be used with rank and file fighter wings.
