Not to be a pain but isn't normal armor cost 2 points per mass.  
Shouldn't the cost for the KV armor be at least 4 per MASS (I'd prefer a

cost of 5 per as there's additional savings in the hull cost and engines

as well).

Actually I prefer this system.	I provides the KV with a different feel 
in combat.  MASS x 5 feels fairly reasonable as there's no chance of 
lossing the armor in a threshold check (or is there...	hmmmm) and it 
also helps against RGs (better than screens).

Instead of calling it armor can we think of another name that explains 
it.  It might be a bit confusing to call this stuff armor while there is

human armor running around.  Hmm...  Maybe "Belt Armor" similar to the 
way some WWII BBs (and other's) were made.  This would account for the 
possibility of sneaking damage through from time to time.
