N18 mesh armour usefulness?

[Psyan]

Yeah, I rewrote the costs and some of the rules for armor for my group.

Flak 5cr
Hazard Suit 10cr
Furnace Plate 10cr
Plate Mail 10cr
Mesh 20cr
Armor Weave 30cr
Hardened Flak 30cr
Layered Flak 35cr
Layered, Hardened Flak 45cr
Light Carapace 4+, -1 AP, hazard suit. No undersuit allowed. 60cr
Heavy Carapace 4+, 3+ in front arc, -1 AP, hazard suit. No undersuit allowed. 80cr
Power Armor 3+, -1 AP, hazard suit, Unstoppable. 160cr

Overall I like the Idea of "No undersuit allowed". (But dont forget the butchers masks and the shields.)

But I personally wouldnt touch the price for 4+ armor. Too much armor forces everyone to go for the big guns even more if you ask me.

The key thing I wanted to do is to make Flak Armor a viable choice, instead of having Mesh Armor as an auto-take.

I think that mesh at 15 is fine, its the undersuit which bumps it to 4+, which is the problem.
