I think they should start lining the starmate with titanium liners to make it stronger. What does everybody else think.

Hi Col. Steel is twice as strong as Titan by volume. Titan is only stronger by weight. Given the same thickness (.040) in a liner, the steel liner give us just about twice the strength. Also steel wears much better than Titan in linerlocks. The current nested single full liner in the Starmate is stronger than two Titan liners would be.
