Power armor is for kitties

Xfin · 2015-09-16T23:52:26.000Z

Wonder if it intended…or a oversight…

(Still see no reason to ever use it even when if i can…)

kevin.granade · 2015-09-17T00:54:31.000Z

If what is intended, that you can wear something on your head along with power armor?

Random_dragon · 2015-09-17T01:00:21.000Z

I thought they meant wearing helmet netting without any helmet. XP

Xfin · 2015-09-17T21:49:15.000Z

both of them, as well as how much storage they give for no negative effect that i can see…

Random_dragon · 2015-09-17T23:19:44.000Z

It’s only 4. Though that IS more than the 2 most jeans with pockets get…

Wearing helmet netting with a power armor is fine, power armor doesn’t go on your head, so you can wear whatever headgear you want (there’s a power armor helmet that completes the ensemble).
It also makes sense to wear helmet netting without a helmet, it’s basically a strange hat (if nothing else, it would serve to keep your head warm, a little).
I have no idea why they have storage, THAT looks like a bug.

Kevin Granade:

I have no idea why they have storage, THAT looks like a bug.

The idea is you could tuck a small item there, using the webbing. Or alternatively, use it to secure camouflage material.

I would suggest toning it down, maybe to 1 or 2? I could do that in my current assorted armor tweaks, I guess.

kevin.granade · 2015-09-18T02:06:09.000Z

there’s no reason to ‘tone it down’, outside a really good reason we should elimite it.
we’re tracking real storage, not, ‘places you can maybe stick things where they’ll be sort of secure’. It just opens a can of worms for no benefit.

Random_dragon · 2015-09-18T02:49:37.000Z

If we had functioning camouflage I would vote in favor of toning it down to 1 storage, and adding a way to add foliage to it.

Note that the description implies it has this use, and without any storage this item is damn near useless. >_>

kevin.granade · 2015-09-18T03:20:37.000Z

So you’re saying you can attach an apple to helmet netting? Because that’s volume 1.
If anything the helmet netting would get you something like 1/3 of a pt of volume, which rounds down to 0.

Random_dragon · 2015-09-18T03:25:47.000Z

Hmm. Very well then, guess I’ll remove the volume on it. ;w;

Though that said, 1 volume is…what, 250 ml/cc? Not sure of the volume of the average apple, but sometimes I think the volume system is screwy to begin with. Needs to be more granular.

Also, unrelated…I might relayer hoodies too. Does it make more sense for them to be shirts or jackets? o3o

kevin.granade · 2015-09-18T06:22:28.000Z

Hoodies are almost always intended to be worn over other stuff AFAIK. (IRL)

Random_dragon · 2015-09-18T15:22:23.000Z

That’s what I thought, yeah. Plus a few professions I could’ve sworn wore it over shirts without any other jacket-type items.

checks professions.json

Hmm. Scoundrel wears it with a tank top, with is considered underwear, police sniper wears it as-is (or with a bra, if female)…ahah, it’s the skater boy/girl that wears it with a t-shirt.

defraggler · 2015-09-25T01:28:07.000Z

I look at it like you have to find both pieces to use it.
It’s balanced, because the stats on that are really high.

Even the crappy one gives you 96/96 armor.
the good ones gives 312/456

Random_dragon · 2015-09-25T01:40:16.000Z

Most people would consider that fake balance. Having it be stupidly OP and rare don’t really balance out.

It does have other issues, like the lack of storage and need to power it that balance it in a more logical manner.

The storage thing CAN be annoying, crippling if not worked around, but a missing helmet detracts from the REAL reason you wear power armor (not getting your ass kicked), whereas the hauling frame simply makes anything not involving being a walking tank easier.

Wow im amazed this thread is actually still goimg. So everyone ended up going off topic, but what about the storage?

Please at least make the milotary rucksack wearable - it IS huge after all.

Valpo · 2015-09-25T14:38:54.000Z

Its bigger then a normal rucksack but its suposed to be straped to a person just like a normal one.
