Power armor sketch.
I just sketched this power armor. What do you all think about it? Are there any changes you would like to see?
Its not done yet.

i like it as it is, heavy protection for the torso and limbs, and small helmet to reduce the risk of a "OMGWTFPWNEDHEADSHOT"
it makes me think of a "heavy power armor" i'd like to see a lighter design of the same style (i'm not a fan of cumbersum power armor)

I second what weemadando says about not having a head. Just a small sensor unit to allow for peeking over and around obstacles. I also prefer having weapons as part of the suit. Have a MG in one hand, a grenade launcher in the other and a couple of small AT rockets on the shoulders. They would not replace the hands. This suit looks like a "heavy" infantry suit. A "light" suit could have the same chest unit, but not have the arm and leg armor, and be armed with just a light MG, antimaterial rifle or sniper rifle in addition to an upgraded sensor suite or med kit.

There are advantages to having a transparent or some other passive way to see out of the suit in case of a system failure.

What kind of system failure though? If the electronics are fragile enough to be disrupted, then it really wouldn't (or at least shouldn't) be out on the battlefield.Isolder74 wrote:There are advantages to having a transparent or some other passive way to see out of the suit in case of a system failure.

Sure thing. So, fixes:
Dome head with visual sensors + visual sensor redundancies.
Drum feed on the gun (much more betterer - less chances of snagging etc).
Remove the backpack.
And another suggestion - how about actually putting in the periscope - have it back mounted and on a gimble, so it can be used to view over obstacles or extended sideways to allow teh pilot to view around a corner?

Definately lower it. And what do people think of the periscope idea. Allow the power armour user to scout effectively (similar to SWAT teams etc using optiwands) without exposing itself to fire.
Perhaps even have a mini-UAV able to launch from teh pack to provice coverage... A small compressed air launch with "fold out" wings that deploy once in the air. It could conceivably be about the size of a postage tube, just look at the german Aladin UAV.

Some sort of camera that can be swung out on an arm or boom would be damn useful. Considering the limited mobility of this suit (I'd use it for heavy assault, really), it'd have to be capable of it.weemadando wrote:Definately lower it.

I like this idea; some sort of flying drone unit. I hadn't considered it at the time, which is odd, because I use mini-UAVs quite a bit in my own works (such as that tank I made and showed to you, and the big exosuits I had in the last chapter of The Logical World: The Novellisation). It's a good idea, really.weemadando wrote:Perhaps even have a mini-UAV able to launch from teh pack to provice coverage...

All righty! This warpig stands 1.75m tall, weights about 380.55Kg,and is able to run about 48Kph sustained.
This power armor is very articulated and can fire from most positions ranging from prone to standing. This can also fire on the move, but at half running speed (for accuracy). T
The sensor array on is situated above the head of the pilot and has magnification, NVG P/A, infared, and UHF/VHF radio. The head is backed up with a secondary external camera mounted in the chest.
Weapons modified for this design incorporate a mounted gun camera for remote viewing(not displayed on this model).
I'm keeping the independent head. Drum feeds are available for some weapons, but many utilize the backpack mounted ammo container with belt feed. 70% of the backpack is used for power generation and redundant comms. Up to 30% is free space usually used for ammo.
This model power armor is resistant up to 14.5 mm AP point blank to the forward chest, upper arm, and complete leg assy.
