Wow... just me a few others started the derail train, I forgot how notorious the lot of people on these forums are at derailing threads 
Special Flags: Power Armor
- Thread starter Endwar
- Start date
HAHA you are finally learning
That lusty description would be nice . . . if it was actually a one turn thing. But you have to spend a turn telling Nova to go be a dancing lust machine THEN you get to do whatever attack.
This is actually the first thing that came to mind when I saw this thread: the whole "it's a robot, no it's power armour" joke between the Boss and Kinzie. SRIV was a good game, though it strayed way off from what SR 1 2 and 3 were.
I would love to see a drawing of Nova morphed into some Astartes Mk.III 'Iron' Power Armor. Oh man.
It would give you superpower-like abilities like, uh... strength. And speed?
But if anything like power armour were to be implemented 'nto TiTS, it would probably just provide major stat bonuses and shiz, but with downsides, of course. Things like slower movement speed (between tiles and in combat) and a libido/min lust increase with some kind of sexy +tease skill power armour. Though that would all probably vary with its type/mark/manufacturer/etc.
If power armor would requied periodicaly recharge like going back to ship to plug it in for hour or so long charge it could be boost PC stats without any other downsides.
@RanmaChan Or Javrin Mk. IV "Comando" Power Armor

Arbitrary slowdowns or charging times don't really make any sense giving the setting. Hell if anything, power armor should make you faster as the armor carries it's own weight and that of all your crap on top of enhancing your physicals.
Though given that I carry around the hoverboard, I'm kinda getting the amusing mental image of my gigantic merc casually riding along on the hoverboard whilst covered in said power armor and carrying an lmg and a really nice spear.

@RanmaChan That was clever hidden reference. Comando skin for Javrin 4 from LoL. Somehow couldn;t use something form lol as joke for power armors. Thou I think none of LoL champs have theme for using power armors. Some are merely robots themselfs.
Yeah due to setting we probably not gonna get any downsides but then at same time power armors may not be so much powerful from similar non power armors.

@Ormael Ah, that is why I didn't get it, I don't play LoL or any of those kinds of games like DoTA.
On topic: Power armor, by the name and definition, are powered suits of armor. They provide extra strength and speed to whoever wears them, as that is the boon that technology provides. The problem with this is how to balance it. You have something that essentially makes the character only more powerful, so how do you balance the game? Do you make every enemy stronger after that point, and assume that every PC is going to use the power armor, or do you give the armor some sort of drawback itself? If so, what drawback? I think a charge mechanic may be the best idea that people have had so far, and it is in line with what other games have done if you use power armor (*cough Fallout 4 *cough*).

Problem with charge mechanic is that will force player to go back to recharge stations and some (or maybe many) will be unhappy with this (ohh joyfull times of CoC when PC was always returning to camp cuz reasons). So this does making hard to find downside of having power armor that not gonna make most fo fanbase cry about been too pita nor force devs to start putting after certain plot planet power armors on everyone and their dogs too.
The obvious penalty if you want to counterbalance outrageous stats is an extreme Sexiness drop. I'd even be inclined to say you can't tease at all while wearing one, which cuts off an extremely useful attack method.
There's also no need to actually give the armor outrageous stats in the first place. Trying to balance extreme gains with extreme penalties rarely works out well in game design. A much simpler solution is just for Power Armor to be a flag that denotes the armor gives you the extra strength to use heavy weapons without whatever penalties exist for using them without it. Then you can just assign it value as a benefit like any other, and allows for armor like XCOM's Exo-Suit that doesn't actually provide a lot of extra protection compared to regular armor, just supporting arms to hold heavy gear with.
Perhaps two tags can be useful in this scenario? Unstrippable and Power Armor. The latter just being an indication that the item enhances your strength enough to properly wield unwieldy weapons while the former would make the player unable to flash the enemy and cripple the tease skill. Though that would necessitate some new tease lines, I'd imagine.
Having both would allow for stuff like x-com exo-suits as accessories as well as full power armor sets like pretty much any space marine would wear.
@Ormael @RanmaChan : That's because it's "Javran IV"
I like this take very much, I do think it should have a mild bonus to stats like strength and maybe speed and obviously some defense. I get lost in stats sometimes.
You mean Vio powerarmor used as part of tease not PC getting out of it to make tease or even opening partialy PA to make tease? I think that may not work with all enemy races since they will still see it's armro not PC body. Maybe that woud work to tease synthetic enemies like grey goo enemies on tarkus or sexbots ^^
On what Couch said I recall one old never finished submission had power armor that had two forms and one was req. PC be at specific places (ship) to get in or out plus cutting any chance to use tease all in exchange for quite considerable boost.

I can't tell if this is a joke or a horrible cry to have someone feed a special snowflake dream fetish. Either way HAHAHAHAA!
Okay, here's the deal sparky, I'm sure I'll have to say this again but I'd like to NOT have to. Anyone who's ever BEEN in a fight knows that they happen FAST. We're talking seconds here not minutes. The average fight is done in twenty seconds from first attempted strike to no one left opposing those that walk away (there are no winners). Given the complexity of any power armor you could every imagine it would take about a quarter of that time to open partially and a minimum of half that time to remove entirely, and that's being VVVEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRYYYYYY nicee towards the power armor. I'll let you guys figure out what all those facts add up to.
Yeah, Fen encourages a friendly, fun place. His goal is simply to give back to the community, so Fen and staff aren't like the admins you fear. I know exactly how you feel, I remember Nexon staff used to ban players on customer support tickets. They were terrible at finding solutions and if you replied to clear up their confusion to your problem, then the player might've been banned for "GM harassment". They made a top 10 listing of worst customer support at one point.
I'll just leave this here if you wanna peek at it. Warning, its quite sexy. Can you handle this much power armor!?!?
That's never coming out, lol. It "started" in like 2013 or 2014. Although I will admit the original docs have some nice pictures.
It's also not even that lewd. I have a much lewder armor commission planned.

I've heard that was coming long before this thread, it'd be sometime after ships. Or at least thats what I remember @Gedan saying? Wasn't it going to be the 1st one we get after a little remodeling in some fashion?
@eveoflife Hmm why it looks like that power armor project I meantioned a little above? xD
Lewder power armor... if Gedan said it will be then it will be done... when it's done ^^
