Request: More items need to be ballistic weave compatible.

It doesn't make sense for a regular minutemen outfit to outperform the unique general one due to ballistic weave. It, and other unique outfits, need to be made compatible with the upgrade.

The entire ballistic weave thing makes ZERO sense and is borked to begin with. Not only can it only be used on a few select pieces, it compltely trivilizes normal armor, AND it can only be gotten by playing through a certain quest that can only be done up to a certain point, and if not done by that point, oh well. IF you did not do that quest and did not join the Railroad, there is NOTHING comparable in terms of benefits.

True. The system as a whole needs a rework. But, might as well start by making the upgrade affect a broader selection of armor and clothing.

I agree. There are a few clothing items and outfits that have only 1 or 2 armor points, and because of that I cannot use the ballistic weave on them. That makes no sense. Also I love to wear the BoS officer uniform and it has appalling stats, I wish I could use the ballistic weave on that too!

I hope I do the story correctly so I can get the ability to use ballistic fiber on the extra items. at this point, ballistic fiber is like my crack. I look for it everywhere.

I just got this ability last night. I hope I don't have to keep doing quests for these nerds anymore now. I'm not like, permanently aligned with them now am I?

It's even weirder that my worn fedora defends better then full combat armor. I just can't look forward to the new armor I layer over my army fatigues and all the clothing because it's a comparatively small increase and if I find that I can't layer or put weave on then it is worthless.

Ballistic weave kind of kills the joy in armor loot. Avoiding it doesn't aren't able to only find second rate stuff by comparison.
