concept APPROVED

article looks good to me, there is a spelling mistake or two that were probably typos that got missed, no big deal there I know you'll fix em, and the only thing that seems strange to me is the drastic increase of weight, I understand the foam expands but for the most part it would just be air getting into it as opposed to the compressed state it's packed in. And I noticed the notion of the foam setting which to me seems entirely possible if the material is changing states of matter to become firmer and would therefore gain some weight.

Honestly the prospect of the weight increase doesn't bother me too much just how much extra it becomes seemed a little high but that's all from me
 
One measly letter out of line xD

As for the weight thing, I wanted it to kind of explain why this simple bit of cover could take this much torture as well as why it doesn't get pushed around by gunfire (seeing that most foam is light). I might have to retool it as two substances mixing but my thought process was that as this nameless foam expands it becomes denser and then it begins to cure into a harder, rubber-like substance that also becomes exponentially heavier for whatever reason.

I haven't been able to find any examples of foam becoming heavier as it expands and sets (I know stuff like elephant snot exists but idk the actual name and that remains fairly light) but I imagine there is something that becomes heavier out there if you look long enough, regardless this is in a setting where catgirl super soldiers are grown in vats so personally it does not seem too out of the question for something with these properties to have been developed for this one product, hell we could probably incorporate it into some kind of thing used to seal a breach in a ship.

I know it's not the most well thought out nor explained concept but it could make sense? idk
 
let's call it, SARP level foam concrete and keep the rest the same, if whoever reviews this or even Wes requests we can make it a material like the other few metals and alloys in the wiki, something that GH developed over time to help in various products and situations
 
Whoa there.

If a thing becomes bigger it gets less dense, not more dense.

You are also making this harder on yourself than need be. When the foam expands, it has a lot more area and a lot more depth to spread the impact over.

This is why those origami lightweight bullet proof screens can stop bullets so well, and also why that technology can’t be applied to bullet proof vests.
 
Well (really)dumb mistakes aside, I think the few changes have made it somewhat better so thanks
 
Code: 
**SARPv3 Tier:** (target type, i.e.: Medium Starship)

Use this code to do Tier^

Tier needs to be knocked down to 4 as that is the defensive capability of its components.

Good job.
