Quantumsuit costs the same as diamond without the iridium, you say. I suppose I can agree to that. But really, only 2k-3k EMC? Iridium, my friend, is worth a lot more than a diamond. To process the amount of scrap you'd get from several recyclers, you'd need a high powered or several mass fabricators. And how would you power all of your machines? HV solar arrays or nuclear reactors are both pretty costly fuel sources, so you'd need to take that into account. And if you're on SMP and using solar, it's unlikely that every player would sleep, so half your time is wasted. But as you said, a single mass fabricator for a few hours. If you don't give it enough power, it takes forever. And well powered, it eats up scrap extremely quickly.

TLDR version: Go make a full set of quantum armor in a few hours and I might believe you, but until then gtfo.
