Kevara Custom - Corden's Armor

[Latus]

Woah dude, shrink down that pic!

Simply do ^^^ without the **s.

[Talau the Ever-Lurking]

I have one BIG problem with this....well a few, actually.

1) resize the picture please, it stretches the board too much.

2) EMPs....any EMP that goes off within range of this dude will put him in considerable danger. The reason for the T visor is to give as wide a range of vision as possible. Cameras are good, but if they (and all his other electrical systems) are shorted...what then? He's in deep trouble with next to no range of vision in the middle of a fight and no cameras or sensory systems. What is he going to do? Ask them all to stop fighting while he gets his systems back online?

3) what's the power source for all of these electronic goodies? You have a lot of them so it must be a pretty big one.

4) over 20 targets at over 100 meters? me thinks not. Try 2 or 3 targets at 30 meters

5) back to the cameras....just where are these cameras? Where are all the wires for them? how thick is his helmet because even mini-cams take up space and with the size of his head...then the added size of the cameras....and the wires....and the extra layers you have added to his armor....that's a big helmet. You sure he isn't Darth Vader in disguise? Or perhaps Stewie dressed up as Vader?

6)

In addition to those features, a macrobinocular viewplate enables Corden to see greater distances and a built-in infrared scanner is capable of magnifying light up to one-hundred times and displaying heat gradations.

You mean HUD display, not 100x for light, 30x and btw infrared =/= light magnification or 'night vision' ....infrared is a completely different spectrum of light, and you are implying that you have heat vision as well? Where's the gauntlet to switch between the visions?

7)

A custom, formfitting bodysuit of micronized beskar is worn beneath the armor, providing a final and formidable layer of protection over areas left exposed in the armor design. This was his father's crowning achievement and gift to Corden upon coming of age. Though not unbreakable, it allows a surprising amount of protection from potentially lethal cuts, gashes, flying shrapnel, and some light energy and explosive blasts.

Denied. Why? Too OP...no further explanation necessary.

8) boot vibroblades? No. regular boot-blades....MAYBE....vibroblades? No.


Overall Review:

Too much OP not enough reality/flaws. This has no balance and is made to be a super armor....that isn't possible and it will not be accepted if it continues to appear to be this way. Please make changes to balance out the armor's reality.

^ that is a class IX suit, man, drop this build back a point or two. You have several really vulnerable points in here (elbow, knee, waist) so a VII fits it pretty well.

Next up is the targeting system. Put it back. Targeting a dozen moving objects at short-moderate range is -nothing- for a combat HUD, even in this era. No offense to Tal, but military-grade hardware was designed specifically to handle that without even taxing the system.

All the blades, however, have to go. Battle armor, defined by the site rules as any suit of armor with weapons installed, is expressly banned. That also includes your flame-throwers. It's listed under the Guide to Unallowed Aspects in the rules section. Here's a link: swrponline2.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=boardrules&action=display&thread=4584

All that being said, however, my opinion isn't the game-breaker. Arhiem the tech mod, who is currently on sabbatical, gets the final vote.

[Kuhblam]

I don't think a miniature flame projector would be out of the question, Corden. I've got a Mando Bounty Hunter who has one on one of his bracers, so yeah.

[Sporky]

And my Mando had one welded to his armor's right arm piece. But one minute seems a bit much. I do believe there was some form of real-world tank that had half a minute of continuous fire....with a six gallon tank. Of course, there's some allowance for Star Wars tech being more advanced, but still. My Mando's flamethrower has a small-ish tank on his shoulder, and gets 18 continuous seconds. Make of that what you will.

[sparrow]

Fett's three minutes of flame is achieved by having a much bulkier fuel source located in his jet pack.

First things first, I must commend you for not only withstanding such amounts of criticism, but doing a respectable job refuting them. You survived a new strain of Taltech review. The existant one.

Second things second, now it's my turn.

1) You need a numerical integer for the weight. Preferably a higher one (~20kg or so) to account for the exclusive features pack you've installed in this thing.

2) With the reduction of overall armor resilience from the many sensor systems, the balancing of the undermesh, and the newly included flamethrower, the armor rating could be taken down another notch.

3) Fair compromise on the targetting system. Thank you.

4) A wire mesh is not best way to go. You'd be far better off with some sort of anti-corrosion, energy dispersing fiberweave for both protection and comfort.

5) Don't worry about the battle armor rule and the blades (though vibroboots would certainly have been overkill), that rule was only really in place to prevent arm-mounted high energy photon anialators. If you want one of those make a droid!

6) Sporky's flamethrower uses a compressed liquid napalm to give it extended range, continuous burn, and a much smaller firing timeframe. Your aerosol fuel should be able to create a short-range blooming fire weapon for a minute without TOO large a source but you're going to want to add a few more kilos of armor plating to keep your weasel from popping.

Best of luck.

[A®heim]

Beskar is extremely difficult to forge, the same trait that gives it its strength, so I don't think it would be plausible to create any form-fitting suit made from it.

Convert the weight to metric and you're kosher. It's nitpicky, but its standards.

[A®heim]

No.
