Heh - I was thinking about doing the same, then expanding it for higher-tech armor. I also would like to replace the way the Holdout Modifier works so that it's based on armor thickness and flexibility, rather than just DR.

It seems like it should be related to density (WM) and tensile strength or hardness (DR/in?), based on my not-a-materials-engineer vague impression? I tried fitting Max DR to a cube root and a log of DR/in and can't. Does being a flexible material factor in somewhere?

It should be based entirely on thickness, DR/in, and flexibility. Makes no sense for it to be based on anything else.
