Power Armor

[Burninator]

Light, Fast, Versatile, Vulnerable.  I think it would be great for there to be something for those of us who like to stay light on our feet.  Also diplomats, engineers, covert ops, commandos, hackers, etc. . .  Let's face it not everyone is going to be or even want to be massive mech pilots.  Does anyone remember the elemental from Mech Assault 2? The crazy suit of armor with the turbo jump jets, mech hacking unit, and wall climbing arm.  It wasn't much but it was my favorite thing to play in the entire game.  And a mech hacking skill based on the ability from Mech Assault 2 may not be a bad idea.  With a keyboard having so many keys, it would be incredibly difficult, with varying difficulty levels depending on the mech's hacking defense skills/modules and the hackers skills/modules.  Anyway, it's something I'd like to see in combat.

Having read further back in the forums I see I'm not the first person with the idea to have power armor but as long as this thread is here I'd love to hear more ideas on how to use power armor. Sorry for bringing up an old idea but I think if implemented as Electronic Warfare units highly mobile power armor will play an important role in this game.

Yuppers, Power Armor is to be used.  Power Armor comes in three classes; Battle Suit (<250kgs), Battle Armor (250 to 1000 kgs), and Combat Armor (1 ton to 5 tons).
