A design for Space Operatic Power Armor

[SuperPheemy]

Here's a design for a suit of Power Armor. I understand that it's expensive for a Heroic level Star Hero game. I'm trying to simulate an "Elite Legion" feel against foes boasting weapons of DC 8-10.

Why is it "expensive"?

 

Are you expecting the PC's to pay for this with their Character Points.

 

If its for a Heroic level campaign, they get equipment for free ya know (well, they have to pay for it with money in-game..that or steal whatever they want!) so if the PC's are a part of a government/military force, there is no problem with the point cost. They get the armor you design and thats the end of the issue...

oh, by the way, the Armor looks pretty good!

 

Similar to a lot of the Powered Armor I designed using the 4th edition rules...
