Carapace Armor (EU2012)

Description

• Research Notes:

We've succeeded in creating an advanced suit of body armor based on the alien alloys recovered from the field. These are the same materials used extensively by the aliens in the hull plating and internal structure of their craft. As we've already seen, the UFOs are capable of sustaining heavy impacts with only minor structural damage, which inspired our research into personal armor plating of the same design.

However, the downside to this exotic material is that we currently have no means of replicating it on Earth. With a limited pool of resources available for futre projects, we'll need to manage our use of these alloys carefully. The engineering team is awaiting orders to begin the fabrication process. Once completed, we can see how this "Carapace" armor fares on the battlefield.

• Engineering:

Our Carapace Armor was designed to offer substantially better protection against alien plasma weaponry through the use of their alloys. Tests indicate a substantial survivability increase relative to conventional body armor.

Notes

• It is highly recommended to research this armor as soon as possible as the +4 health allows your units to survive almost any one shot from light plasma rifles.
