Oi... Wow, your an idiot. I know I criticized this armor on chat, but at least I was giving good reasons.

First and formost, your assumtions about titanium ARE FALSE. It can be welded. In fact, it's often used in aircraft bodies. What do they use? Electric arc torch, in a vacuum. Titanium is far from brittle. In fact, it's quite ductile provided it's not in an alloy, and even they have fairly good ductility. And shock... Isn't ALL material used in armor conductive of shock? Chobham is Ceramic sandwiched between steel plates, and yet it does just fine. And electricity? Again, isn't steel and many composites have the ability to conduct electricity? and in any case, that can be helpful if your going to use electric reactive armor, espially if your going to use the hull as the capacitor.

Graphene isn't nessecarily brittle either. It's quite ductile until you try to fold it in half... And then it snaps like a piece of wood. But it also doesn't add much ballestic resistance. So yeah...
