Lancaster Inc. Armor Division ~ Realistic Armors

Description
Hello folks!

About:
This is my first mod I've ever made and uploaded.

Description:
This mod rebalances the weight and durability of steel plates and armor blocks. Before the sloped armor block would have the exact same weight and durability as a full cube block and the steel plates were extremely thick and heavy as well. With this mod every armor block has got its weight adjusted and fixed as well as the amount of steel plates an armor block requires.

A good example is the old light armor block which has got a size of 50x50x50 cm however a single steel plate of 50x50 cm was enough to create a complete armor block which of course doesn't make any sense at all, now however it'll require a total of 6 plates to make a single light armor block. Below you will find a short comparison table comparing the 4 different small armor blocks. However I've only shown the small light armor blocks the mod does adjust all armor blocks including heavy armor and large armor blocks! Also heavy armor is exactly twice as durable as light armor now!

!!! NOTE !!! The rebalancing of the steel plates also affect the durability and weight of other blocks that have steel plates as a construction component!

Comparison Table:

Small Light Armor Block:
Old Weight: 20 kg.
Old Components: 1x Steel Plate.
Old Durability (approx.): 1x 100 Integrity.
New Weight: 24 kg.
New Components: 6x Steel Plate.
New Durability (approx.): 6x 50 Integrity.

Small Light Armor Slope:
Old Weight: 20 kg.
Old Components: 1x Steel Plate.
Old Durability (approx.): 1x 100 Integrity.
New Weight: 16 kg.
New Components: 4x Steel Plate.
New Durability (approx.): 4x 50 Integrity.

Small Light Armor Corner:
Old Weight: 20 kg.
Old Components: 1x Steel Plate.
Old Durability (approx.): 1x 100 Integrity.
New Weight: 8 kg.
New Components: 2x Steel Plate.
New Durability (approx.): 2x 50 Integrity.

Small Light Armor Inverted Corner:
Old Weight: 20 kg.
Old Components: 1x Steel Plate.
Old Durability (approx.): 1x 100 Integrity.
New Weight: 16 kg.
New Components: 4x Steel Plate.
New Durability (approx.): 4x 50 Integrity.

any updates?

yes but do to how SE regasters weight keeping the small blocks using 1 plate, we could not change there weight, SE registers weight by the sum of a blocks componets, not a number in the cube block code. so a full block made with one plate would weigh the full amount of 1 steel plate..witch is if i remeber right 26 or 24 KG a 50cm cube should not weigh that much in the first place.

FYI: Steel plates are much bigger than 50cm x 50cm. The smallest plates I have seen are 1m x 2m, and they can be had much bigger than that. There are 8 x 50cm x 50cm pieces in a 1m x 2m plate, so a small armor block should require less than one plate.

what does it look like?

First of all there's not really anything to show, it still uses the stock models and materials for most of the parts. All it does is rebalance the weights and used materials to be more realistic. This results in much lighter ships.

After working for 2 whole days on the final update of my mod I encountered an error I am unable to fix. This error was caused by the block textures I had included and prevented me from uploading any updates at all, even uploading the old one with the textures of the "Depleted Uranium" blocks failed even though that version was actually already uploaded to the Steam Workshop. In other words everything went FUBAR!

So since I was unable to upload fixes in any way I had no choice but to remove all block textures this mod was using and as a result of that I also had to remove the blocks that used those same textures. In other words I had to remove the "Depleted Uranium" blocks.

I sincerely apologise for the trouble this update has caused and I hope sincerely that you'll understand this necessery change I had to do...
