Probably should point out here that diamond would be horrible for armor. Yeah, it's hard but it's also quite brittle. Any significant impact would shatter it. The depleted uranium composite armor used by the Abrams tanks works quite well though.

The hive ships are organic so a kull-warrior armor is not likely. And from what i got from the last episode

State your evidence before stating it as fact. Untill Joe M. says it or its a direct qoute from the show I won't believe it.Comment

I have a feeling that the kull armor is already diamond. Anybody who has seen Fullmetal Alchemist episodes with Greed (so just me), knows that he turns his skin into a black diamond or carbon nanotube material. I'd bet that the kull armor is the same, but with some heat dissipating improvements, to deal with energy weapons.Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate.

If Wraith Hive Ships have energy absorbing properties than how come one got taken out so easily by a laser satelite powered by a Naquada generator. And its true that they dont have shields either and these are the guys who stopped an ancient expedition in its tracks which is quite mysterious.Comment

Hull could still be energy absorbing but the ancient built the weapon to counter the absorbing poperties.Originally posted by PasankoonComment

A trinium tipped dart perforated the Kull's suit in the soft section (of the torso I think).Originally posted by RoMUS
When you look at the effects of the dissipation of energy due to the impact of energy weapons, the wave of energy spreads over the softest parts of the suit, even if the point of impact is located on the plate.
It seems that some sort of field is created around the suit.
A very thin, solid and pointy projectile, like a trinum tipped dart for example, can succeed where even armor piercing bullets fail.
In terms of DET and even advanced forms of destruction (zat guns), the kull armor has absolutely nothing to fear for.
Obviously, a ship protected by such a plating, plus shields, would be a weapon of terror.
In fact, it could spare energy by not having shield, and use that energy for weapons, FTL, sensors and other systems.Comment
