Ok, let's test this out and see if it works. Going off of the progression in Spaceships hyper dense has a WM (weight modifier) of 0.4 and If hyper dense is modeled off of super dense it has a density 1.875× that of iron. To figure a materials WM we take its density in pounds per cubic foot, divide that by 12 and then take the product and dived it the materials DR/in. That gives us (914/12)/1,960 which equals 0.039, which would be rounded up to 0.4.

So it's safe to say that we now know hyper denses DR/in and density!
In summary...

By Factor
  • Steel = x1
  • Bonded Super Dense = x14
  • Bonded Hyperdense = x28

Therefore...

Per Inch
  • Steel = 70/inch
  • Bonded Super Dense = 980/inch
  • Bonded Hyperdense = 1960/inch

:D
