2	Marine Armor		Blunt	Sharp	Blunt	Sharp			Armor modifier			HOW ARMOR RATING WORKS:
3		Awful	27	63.6	0.00%	16.20%			Awful	0.6		Armor rating is the % chance the armor has any effect
4		Poor	36	84.8	0.00%	32.10%			Poor	0.8		half of that chance is 0 damage,
5		Normal	45	106	2.25%	48.00%			Normal	1		the other half reduces damage 1/2
6		Good	51.75	121.9	7.31%	59.93%			Good	1.15		In general, the % expected reduction is 75% of the armor rating (at 100+ rating, +25% up to 200)
7		Excellent	58.5	137.8	12.38%	71.85%			Excellent	1.3		Armor penetration reduces armor rating by a flat amount (SET THAT BELOW)

20		A Flak Vest + Jacket does about the same sharp% reduction than power armor, though higher armor penetration favors power armor quickly, it's still not a lot
21		What if power armor counted both its layers and applied its armor twice

33		Examples:	(after armor penetration)						Weapon penetration is usually 1.5x their damage
34		20% Armor Rating means 10% chance of 0 damage, 10% of 1/2, 80% full							Slower weapons therefore have better penetration than a faster weapon with equal dps
35		Total expected average: 15% reduction
36		80% means 40% of 0 damage, 40% of 1/2, 20% full damage							Long Sword penetration is 33, legendary 52					Notable exceptions:
37		Total: 60% reduction							Assault rifle penetration is 16, leg 25					Shotguns do 14 penetration for 18 damage
38		100% means 50% of 0 damage, 50% of 1/2 damage							Sniper rifle penetration is 38, leg 56					Pilum does 10 penetration for 25 damage
39		Total: 75% reduction							Mace penetration is ~20					Greatbow arrow does 15 for 17 damage
40		150% means 75% of 0 damage, 25% 1/2 damage (and even 50 armor penetration only means 50% 1/2 damage)												ChargeRifle does 35! for 15 damage
41		Total: 87.5% reduction
42		200% means 100% 0 damage. NICE
43		total: 100%
44		TL;DR the formula is .75rating up to 100%, then increasing by .25rating to 100% reduction at 200 ratin (impossible in vanilla)
45
46		Armor is applied in layers : outer first, then middle, then inner
47		i.e flak jacket, then vest ( or with this mod, power armor outer + power armor inner @ .6 rating)
48		IF the outer layer reduces to 0, great
49		IF the outerlayer reduces by 1/2, a sharp attack is made blunt
50		BUT the armor still applies its SHARP rating.
51

53
54
55		THIS ALL BEING SAID:
56		Power armor covers more parts than flak
57		Power armor has better blunt in all cases
58		Power armor is a litte better at guaranteeing a block
59		This also means the damage becomes blunt which is preferable.
60		Thick Armor does almost nothing vs blunt attacks due to armor penetration negating the second layer blunt armor
