<div class="IPBDescription">(what type of metal look suits best)</div> Hi, I want your opinion.
What type of metal is part of the soldier's armor and all the NS's equipements ?
Is it steel, stainless steel (don't think so), aluminum or plain ordinary metal ?
I'm experimenting with different materials for renderings and I don't know what type of metal was thought of for the several in-game metals when the NS textures were made.
Keep in mind that most in-game metals are dirty. Think of the metal as being clean and without dirt or scratches.
As I said, I'm only experimenting.

Actually, a metal/ceramic mesh could very easily be a future armor. Certain ceramics are already being tested as armor plating in suits and on vehicles.
It aslo could be a silk-like substance; spider's silk is currently being tested as an armor as well.
Spider silk can only be cut with a knife because it is increadibly thin. The samuri used to use silk (worm silk is weaker than spider silk FYI) as an armor because if you were shot by an arrow it wouldn't pierce through, so the arrows were really easy to remove from the wounds. Of course they also made swords that would split silk like butter, but that is a different story all together.

a) kevlar armor won't stop a knife either
b) spider silk would make outstanding armor. Too bad it can't be harvested very well (they're experimenting with using goats as the carrier of some of the proteins or something like that, so it can be more easily harvested.... goatsilk I guess, lol)
o_O i hope to god you're not serious....
as for the metal/material, i dont know, i'd go with what everyone else says though

Nope - he's right. It's actually a practical method of making large quantities of silk.
[edit] Curses! Beaten by the Shazzy.
Why would it be? <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Goatsilk/Spidersilk/Carbon Nano-tubes if you want to be realistic and 40 years in the future or so
If you simply don't care, then you have fusion assisted nanites <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Lol @ the spider silk, as it's true. Mesh Spider Silk with Titanium Webbing and you'd have blade AND ballistic armor!

I read about the nanotubes. Supposedly one single tube (only a few molecules thick...thinner than human hair) can lift 25lbs.
P.S., The manufactured spidersilk is called BioSteel.
I have to stick to the NS game's environment.
The taxi driver answers "Sur no problem, but you should watchout as there is alot of street construction."
The guy then asks "Yes but how do I go to 123 Adams street ?"
The taxi driver then replies "Easy, you just tune in to the radio station XYZ and your bound to relax"
The guy thinking this taxi driver doesn't realy care keeps driving and gets to a policeman. He then asks him "How do I get to 123 Adams street ? I'm new around here"
The policeman answers "Your new ? Then may I suggest you keep away from Square-Phillips as crime rate is high"
The guy replies thinking he won't get any good answers "Thanks for the advice but I realy need to get to 123 Adams street. I have an appointment in 15 minutes. So how do I get there ?"
The policeman then replies "You see that church on top of the hill ? Well you drive to it, turn right, then at the 4th light, you go left and streight for about 15 minutes. Then at the library you take highway-15 for about 30 minutes. This should take you outside of the city and safely on your way home. Have a nice day !"
As the policeman starts walking away, the guy gets angry and say "Ah fu.. I won't get any help around here. So I'll just give up and go back home."
** End of the story**
I was just gently reminding people to stay focused on the topic of my thread. Some others would use point blank comments.
