An article that gives an indepth look on composite armor
PRODUCTION INFORMATION
Manufacturer: Drakos Systems
Model: Isida Composite Armor
Affiliation: Drakos Systems
Modularity: Slightly
Production: Mass Production
Material: Neutronium, Plastoid, Alusteel,
SPECIAL FEATURES
+Multiple layers of armor
DETAILED SPECIAL FEATURES
+Multiple layers of armor protect vehicles from variety of threats.

Strengths:
-It protects you against a wide variety of threats
+High energy dispersion due to neutronium.
+Lightweight

Weaknesses :
-Can only be used for vehicles, and other structures
-No EMP resistance.
-Despite it being strong, it doesn't feature the multiple layers that are seen in other composite armors(like the one that is sourced)
-Repeated attacks will be able to punch through the armor, rendering it useless
DESCRIPTION
Drakos Systems engineers began wondering what vehicle component should comprise a part of their armor. It was here that they began experimenting with applique, and homogenous armor. With the increasing lethality armor piercing projectiles such as kinetic energy rounds and sabot rounds, they settled on creating composite armor for future Drakos Systems products.

Drakos Systems then decided to create a light-weight, yet strong armor known as the Isida Composite Armor. It features an ceramics/plastoid, sandwiched between alusteel, and netronium plates. The Alusteel offers protection from kinetic and blaster energy, while the neutronium increases the energy dispersion of the armor. Plastoid acts similarly to NERA/NxRa armor, while the honeycomb structures weer added in an attempt to make the armor light-weight.

Despite the armor's ability to protect it from a wide variety of threats, it does not feature any duraplast, making it feature no EMP resistance at all ;furthermore, the armor can only be used in vehicles, and like any armor, repeated attacks will puncture through the armor.

Hello, I'll be the factory judge reviewing your submission. If you have questions, please feel free to respond to this thread once we are underway.

-Like other composite armor, it is light-weight.

This isn't going to be lightweight if every level of it is neutronium which is stated to be a heavy element.

Personally, I think you should re-order the levels of armour with the honeycomb structure at the first level, Ceramics / Plastoids, and then duraplast impregnated with neutronium. Still, I don't think it'd be light, at all. Protection against EMP / Ion would require the duraplast being reinforced, which would make it heavier still.

I'll respond to this tmr. Just wanted to let you know.

Yeah, I apologize. I was being idiotic on my part for thinking that. Edited.

In the past we typically asked for dev for matrix armor. Considering that we've taken dev out of the factory, I'll be asking for more on your strengths and weaknesses. You'll be needing more concrete weaknesses to balance out what you've got, you'll also need to expand your description to reflect those changes that you'll make.

With how you're wanting your armour, you're only making it heavier / bulkier and will only give you the characteristics you want by layer, rather than melded together, if you know what I mean.

If that's what you were wanting that's fine, though it is hardly practical.

Additionally will be asking for production to be lowered down to Limited if you intend on using matrix armor.

I'm confused. This video, and the Wiki page on which I used to learn more about composite armor describes it as being layered. Could you elaborate on what you meant?

 

[Haytham Kaze]

[member="Krayzen Dratos"]

I mean that you want heavier / stronger components to be used for a composite armour which is a lightweight armour, which doesn't add up.

. I added alusteel to the materials, and to the submission. Do you also have any advice in regards to how to make it lighter? From what I've searched up, composite armor usually has heavy metals that sandwich ceramics, and other materials together.

Should be fine as is now.

However, you've yet to make the changes that I've requested from before.

Tag me when you've done so.

I apologize for the late response. I've edited the composite armor entirely. I've reduced the armor to featuring only two metals, and reduced it's density since it features less layers than before. I re added that it's lightweight, and I've also removed the Duraplast and added EMP resistance as a weakness.

I'm still seeing four metals, one of those being duraplast.

Material: Neutronium, Duraplast,Plastoid, Alusteel,

Awesome. Pending Admin Approval. Thanks! [member="Cira"]

+As you would expect from more vehicle armors, it has lightsaber resistance.

What kind of lightsaber resistance is being featured here?
