I didnt see this as a restricted item...so..could I use it?

pleaaaaaaaaaaasssssseeeeeee

If it is not a restricted material then it is not a restricted material and free for use.

However making armor out of it would likely be very difficult.

What about ships?? ?

 

[Soliath Devin Talith]

Even more difficult and likely incredibly costly to the point of being ridiculous and ineffective.

So we saying this would probably a minor or limited production???

 

[Soliath Devin Talith]

I'm saying that there are far more cost effective metals that do the exact same thing.

In the end though, its up to the factory judge who takes the submission.

Armorweave is nice...but imagine Armorweave, with Druanium to back it up...you got some of the best lightsaber resistant armor without using restricted items

 

[Soliath Devin Talith]

False.

Duranium is stated to survive "glancing" blows, likewise Armorweave is not lightsaber resistant either. So perhaps you could withstand a single slash, or half a second, but any prolonged contact longer than a second or two would melt through both the armor weave and the Duranium.

Bubba
Armorweave was an armored cloth material capable of dissipating blaster bolts, and with at least limited resistance to lightsaber attack

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Armorweave

This stuff made thick would resist it a very limited degree

 

[Soliath Devin Talith]

limited resistance to lightsaber

The key term there is "limited".

Much like with Duranium armorweave can only withstand glancing blows, not direct contact. Phrik or Beskar can hold against outright strikes of a lightsaber, full on blows. Materials like Armorweave, Duranium, etc can't hold up against solid Lightsaber hits/prolonged contact.

ight, I can take that

 

[The Red of Sinner]

By the way,

I'm saying that there are far more cost effective metals that do the exact same thing.

Whatcha mean ^

 

[Soliath Devin Talith]

What about ships?? ?

Ships do not need to be Lightsaber resistant. Duranium has the exact same effect as Terenthium and Desh or many other Starship alloys. Making a starship out of Duranium would not be cost effective.

He means you better be rich, because that crap is going to cost a fortune.

It's not rare or to hard to get, just difficult to shape without specialized equipment. Which means form-fitted armor like gauntlets would be a pain to make but relatively flat strike plates not so much. You also don't see many organics using it for armor because high heat resistance like it exhibits is usually a result of density (densely packed atoms absorb heat energy slower) which translates into weight. I'd also recommend reading the articles of the metals it claims to be stronger than. Transparasteel is said to be much weaker than durasteel (commonly used in strong armor) and bronzium was mostly used for decorative purposes.

All that said, it's still a very solid choice for armor if you dont have the inclination to run a dev thread for something else.
