Re: Rough Draft: MI Drop Capsule

 

I wonder if the LS is really necessary? Wouldn't the trooper's own powered armor provide this? Of course at only 2 points it is really a minor thing. It looks pretty good.

Re: Rough Draft: MI Drop Capsule

 

couple of different thoughts on that:

 

1. if you uprated the LS and or added an 02 supply, you could use a variant of the capsule for an emergency lifepod.

 

2. this capsule could also be used for cargo drops, where you dont need the O2 supply, but do need to protect the cargo from vacumn etc
