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.
