Additional materials for armor construction

Re: superalloy:

I canā€™t remember the exact stats, but scientifically spider silk is five times as strong as standard silk. It has to have the stickiness chemically removed, a process I donā€™t really know off the top of my head, but it could have an excellent niche in game as a full body close to skin layer suit with low warmth and high cutting protection. But no blunt protection obviously.

Using a metal frame coupled with a strong material in a net like fashion. Spider silk maybe an interesting piece of armor.

Another good reason to use a light hard material in armor would be because the soft stuff(kevlar) only catches and creates a cone like shapeā€¦and then you are damaged or dead. Using some ultra light but sturdy material would slow a bullet down to mitigate damage. Example; several thin sheets of a light metal in key areas. Such as over the heart to prevent instant death. Possibly ceramic over metal? But with being able to swap out broken plates with new.

A caveat for melee:

Apparently Kevlar wonā€™t do a darn thing against a sharp blade. Go figure.
