A few main concepts:

The Bayonet, a 15 to 20 mm shotgun pistol that can fire armor penetrating sabot rounds.

The Pilium, a slightly cut down halberd with the same mag size and light caelium propulsion. The main goal here is to make armor piercing HE shells.

Third is the coat of arms, a bat of k-wool woven with small metal plates that is work as a jacket over the nike and our other powered armor.

EDIT: also reintroducing the Minotaur

Minotaur:
An upgrade from our combat shotgun, the Draco, the Minotaur is very similar in operation, a semiautomatic shotgun with underbarrel magazine holding 8 shots. Where it differs is the caliber: the Minotaur fires 20mm shotgun shells. There are three ammunition types designed for the Minotaur. A buckshot shell, for general anti-infantry use, a steel-tipped armor penetrating sabot round, and a round with two seperate chambers, one with undepleted promethium, and the other with citric acid. There is a 70mm radius axehead under the end of the barrel, and a k-wool rubber stock pad to absorb the intense recoil. The weapon is lightened with an internal tube of powdered caelium powered by the sparkpack. Wielders are issued k-wool earmuffs.

We have a research credit, yes? If we do, I'd vote for the Icarus so long as we add silicate wool to the uniform.

Salvios ammunition has been proven to penetrate our current metal/k-wool armour with unacceptable regularity. Thus I suggest the following ideas (depending on how overboard we want to go with our response)

Hardened K-Wool
First demonstrated with the Nike's eyemasks, sheets of Hardened K-Wool consist of a dense weave of K-Wool suspended in a polymer resin. This will allow us to produce solid sheets of K-Wool as a lighter, tougher alternative to steel.

Ceramic Plates
Metal-workers have used specialised ceramics in their furnaces for years. Forming these heat-resistant ceramics into thin plates and fitting them in specially made K-Wool sleeves should provide a significant amount of heat and kinetic resistance.

Modern Composites
A combination of the above materials sandwiched together will produce an expensive, yet highly resilient armour plate.

[Doomblade187]

I would be down to make an overcoat for our armor suits, using hardened k-wool plates suspended in k-wool. Ceramic sounds like a good option down the line.

[Doubloon-Seven]

That's what I want. Mineral wool. Like a sturdier fiberglass. By just making a mixture of K-Wool and Mineral wool and turning that into a camo cover for the armor plates, we're basically golden. I mean, it's already shown the regular troops can survive a shot just with K-Wool. The issue is that the heat is spreading into the armor, and ceramic fiber is significantly lighter and more insulating than plates.

So, I want to pick an armor upgrade, but I am unsure as to which one to pick. On one hand, the hardened k-wool plates will probably be cheaper, costing chem and wool instead of chem and ore for ceramic, but going beeger and aiming for modern ceramic body armor is appealing. My main concern with the ceramics is we don't have a defined way to replace broken plates.

[Doubloon-Seven]

They're all completely pointless, heavy, and expensive when you could just make a snap-on cover for the armor plates that consists of like 80% mineral wool to 20% K-Wool

[Doomblade187]

Then please make a mineral wool design, so I can think about options?

[Doubloon-Seven]

Design? It's revision material.

[Doomblade187]

So, @Fox, my points for the icarus at bare minimum are refit internal structures to metal and adjusting the bomb bay to mount our 80mm artillery shells.

Edit: Doubloon suggested aluminum internals, and I agree.

Edit2: can we make the viewing bubble k-wool resin
