Anyway, 1 is a new design that happens to incorporate a revision of an older model in it. Thus it makes sense to just fix the armour before making it larger or whatnot. 9.1 going under as 6.1 I can see, so if anyone wants to shift it, that'll be good.

Furthermore, I do see the original 8 proposal as a bit of a waste. While fixing the flaw in it is good, given how engineering works, it won't retroactively fix all models in existance, we'd need to upgrade them to the new model regardless.

I think we should probably make our designs be at least average before we move onto something else.  Do it right first, then move onto a new weapon.  I also would like to point out that no weapons have been produced by us as of yet, although some might this turn, so that could make the provision in 8 unnecessary.  I guess it is if we make some this turn, it is to be used with the new design.

How much would it cost to repair the destroyer VS building a completely new one?

I don't like the name for the AR.  I see it as more close ranged, like the Steyr AUG.  The Steyr AUG has sights on it for 450 meters.  Other civil war rifles could fire for further.  I guess we'd have to find out by testing.  Or I'm reading this wrong.

It doesn't incorporate anything. It designs new, more expensive and heavier armor. 

Current armor is good enough for regular infantry. Single minor flaw isn't a big problem.

Given that it makes any weapon that penetrates it more lethal, I'd say that's a rather big flaw.

As for names for the weapons:
Rifle: Orea
Pistol: Cyskanus

Our men will get shot while tryingin vain to prononuce those names....

Lets go with more military-sounding. We aren't marketing these guns, after all. M2020 Handgun (2020 for short. Sounds cool to me, at least.) and IARM1 (Imperial Assault Rifle Model 1).

Is it better for survival than no armor at all? Yes
Is it cheap? Yes
Do most people that get their armor are knocked out of action anyway? Yes

Then why we spend an action for a minor improvement?
