Suit up 2.0

Class

  • Fortress: This is a war of survival, and I'm joining the effort. [De:1,Du:5,Po:5,RE:1,Sp:3,St:5]

Features

  • Skates: Wouldn't be much of a tank without the mobility offered by these treads. (200)

Body Types

  • Bio: Makes up for my low recovery with an easily taken care of reduction in armor. (190)[De:1,Du:4,Po:5,RE:6,Sp:3,St:5]
  • Tank: This is a war, so I'm not willing to stray from established designs. (180)[De:1,Du:5,Po:5,RE:6,Sp:3,St:5]

Suit A.I.

  • Engineer: Drone control and intra-suit logistics are the first things to automate, since they're the hardest systems to control manually. (170)

User Interference

  • Nerve Suit: This is an alien war machine. A joystick isn't going to cut it. (165)

HUD

  • Suit Status: Free. (165)
  • Advanced Suit Status: These are vital details on the battlefield. (160)
  • Floodlights: The practicality and cheapness of a few lightbulbs can't be overstated. (155)
  • Hawkeye: I need a good view of my surroundings to protect myself. (150)
  • Radar: With radar, I can keep track of looming threats. (140)

COMMS

  • Radio Transmitter: Free (140)
  • Terminal: I'm not letting the apocalypse get in the way of my internet browsing. (130)
  • Comm Buoy: A must for coordinating with allies over a large area. (120)
  • Defense Maze: Call it paranoia, but I don't want my suit's controls taken away from me in the middle of a fight. (110)

Defenses

  • Plasma shield: I'll spare no expense to bolster my defences. (95)

Drones

  • Scavenger {X2}: We need materials to keep up production, and we can't exactly set up a mine in the middle of a battlefield. (85)
  • Light {X2,Flamethrower/Laser Rifle}: Something light and nimble, to take care of threats too agile or hard-to-reach. (80)
  • Medium {X2,Beam Sabre}: These drones are designed to get close enough to enemies, and then tear them apart. (70)
  • Medium {X2,Ion Cannon}: Combination heavy-hitter and crowd control. (60)

Upgrades

Notes

  • They could've picked a better picture for mesh.
  • I'm not going to question how big this pod is if it can hold a fortress which can fit 15 people. Especially since this all taking place in my backyard.
  • Does Gattai work with suits of any class?
  • Tremorsense would be very impractical for heavy suits.
  • Levitation is made redundant by flight. Sure, they're different, but anyone who wants the latter isn't getting the former, leaving it in an awkward position.
  • Some of these these class and body type combinations seem implausible. Like a mesh orb. Do you roll around like Samus as a morph ball? Or a non heavy/fortress biped. Are you basically standing on stilts? What about a Sexy Orb Fortress? Are you just plastered on the outer end of a giant ball?
  • I'm totally justified in fearing that my organic mecha will be hijacked.
  • I really think that the weapons section, being so huge, should've been left for the very end.
  • I was both relieved and disappointed when I realized half the upgrades needed a brain harness, so I didn't have anywhere near enough points for them.
  • I just felt disappointed when I realized that the medium drones could only have one weapon.
  • I was at first confused about the plasma bow, then I realized we were fighting space elves. Spelves, if you will.
