If you look at if from a tactical standpoint you would have different kinds of armor for different missions. Some suits may have more plates for heavy combat or less plates for infiltration or recon. I can say that the jetpack would definitely vary from person to person, I would go for a backpack or small portable hacker droid. |
I agree with you, altho recon units don't always wear light armor. The logic there is, as a recon unit, you have to move over long distances, most likely without an immediate extraction route and probably a very quick insertion. Hauling a lot of gear would wear you out pretty quickly. Of course, it is possible to recon in heavy armor, assuming one has the stamina to drag it around for long periods of time. |

You just said that 'cause I want 'em and you like to taunt me.
As for me, I...have no idea. I love that Mandalorians have no problems with making their armor unique however they feel like (any colors or styles acceptable, or damn near close to!), and still manage to be recognizable for who and what they are. But, I also love the general look of the armor, and find it rather aesthetically pleasing, despite knowing jack squat about armor. ^_^' |
Something along those lines. I so need to actually post instead of just raid the sexbox.
Started thinking more about armor....mostly cuz I'm determined to destroy an old volkswagon...or cheap trash can.
First set will be modest, traditional. Nothing super fancy, although I do want to incorporate several working elements...only a few hazardous.
But after that, I think I'd like to make my heavy armor. Walking tank thing really. Although I prefer Immediate and Gratuitous Urban Renewal Specialist. I can see it in mah head but we'll see how it works out when it's all done....hopefully I won't need to take lots of engineering classes or anything...but I can put a computer together and it doesn't explode often so.... |

| I can help you with that one. i've taken a welding class or two in my effort to be a well balanced person. (Ultimately i think i failed in that area, but i'm at least reasonably well versed in many subjects) and tearing an old volkswagon apart sounds fun. |
