I agree and we already started working towards that goal. If you check this thread:http://ufoai.ninex.info/forum/index.php?topic=1880.120 you'll find a revamped model of a nanocomposite armour. All it needs now is a texture. The work on other models has been halted because of sitters' absence.

If somebody could make a "texture" that at least clearly delineated the different areas (with flat colors for example) i could probably take it from there.
Blywulf:
I think sitters is the only person who's got access to the 3D model itself and I dont think he has already unwrapped it.

Sorry for this aside, but I had a brainwave while walking from work today which may be useful here. Here it is:
--- Quote from: WIKI ---[ The light combat armour ] features pockets on the front and back that can take ceramic or metal inserts to further protect vital areas.

and
--- Quote from: WIKI ---In the past, carbon nanotubes have been difficult and expensive to produce, and trying to work them into a proper shape was even worse. With the alien armour in hand and enough resources at our disposal, I believe that we can devise new production methods and shaping processes that will allow us to mass-produce shaped nanocomposite plates.

So, it seems to me the quickest way for PHALANX to "upgrade" their Combat Armour would be to replace the ceramic plates with nano-composite ones, leading to Advanced Combat Armour! Eureka! :)
Sorry, just had to share this flash of insight ;D Hopefully, it may help with the artistic and writing process.
Yours,

No, that's not an upgrade, that's a description of the intended add-on item functionality. In the final version you will be able to manufacture armour inserts and weapon add-ons.
