About this mod
A proper BOS overhaul adding different models of T-45 and T-51 with unique textures and effects.

- Permissions and credits
For The Brotherhood
This overhaul adds four new versions of T-45 and two T-51 to BOS equipment. The T-51a will be very rare with one version spawning on a few named BOS characters and the other being worn by only Sentinel Lyons. Only new armour is added leaving vanilla sets untouched, so you can use whatever textures you please for them. All fixes from UUFO3P are included so that is a required master.
Why?
The Enclave being remnants of organized government look right wearing the same gear but the brotherhood exist by salvaging what they can find from the wasteland. With that in mind I wanted BOS soldiers to have a more varied appearance, wearing whatever they could find that still functioned, different models of T-45 all in different conditions and with stats to fill a specific role.
What?
There are no fancy new modded armour sets included here, just quality retextures of existing stuff. Nothing is overpowered, each new item has its own strengths and weaknesses to consider and T-51b is still the king unless you have added something better yourself.
T-45a The oldest model of power armour to be scavenged from a long dead warrior. Distinctive by its rusty appearance, this armour has the lowest max condition at 900 but maintaining such an old piece of junk grants you a boost to repair and the helmet adds +1 charisma.
T-45c Virtually identical to the model that replaced it, except for traces of the green paint every army issued set had. A basic system which was later scrapped to cut costs dampens recoil giving a small boost to small guns skill.
T-45e A significant leap forward for armoured mobile infantry. Possibly the most coveted armour found in any large numbers, the e series adopted a much lighter and efficient hydraulic system giving wearers better mobility. A fire resistant undersuit also gives moderate protection from hazards. Advanced software in the helmet allows for greater visibility. The fact that it also looks cool makes it a favourite among the brotherhood. Easily recognized by its olive drab colour.
T-45g Based on improvements from previous versions but with increased protection from radiation spikes, ideal for urban combat with its camouflage paint and featuring a targeting system in the helmet for use with energy weapons. Thought to be the last model of T-45 produced before the world went to hell.
Wasteland T-51a Not as uncommon as a full suit of T-51b but almost due to its incredibly short life in service. Upon its introduction this new power armour was almost laughed out of the army due to comical accidents caused by its unwieldy nature. Troops given this armour struggled to keep up with their units in combat and complained of terrible visibility akin to a medieval suit of armour. Being twice as durable as the lighter T-45 and being almost bomb proof makes up for these shortcomings, however it was not until the use of more durable materials that T-51 became effective.
Brotherhood T-51a Apart from the cleaner appearance, identical to its wasteland counterpart. Elder Lyons insists his daughter wear this in battle given its protective qualities, it being a daily source of arguments between the two. She still refuses to wear the helmet.
Where?
You can find every new item just outside the GNR building, and all over the place on BOS soldiers.
What I did
I made the rusty and old army textures plus new bigger ones for the armoured gloves on the olive drab armour. The other four were made by different mod authors and two of those were also changed by me to suit my mod and correct any problems. The tedious process of making everything standalone and working out how on earth to get it all showing up on BOS characters was all done by me. I have to do a lot more testing and hopefully get feedback from you guys but everything seems good with the mod. Almost everything is 2k so it looks good without lagging up when equipping items.
Install
I recommend Wrye Bash for mods like this that edit leveled lists in a big way. The bashed patch is incredibly effective at keeping your game running smoothly. UUFO3P is required and the goodies esp from that is recommended as the names of my armour match those changes.
Credits
Nearly everything I make based on vanilla stuff starts off being a Kuzja80 up-scaled texture, so as always thanks to him. The two actually good T-45 textures were originally made by CaBaL120 and edited by assultdragon. T-51 textures are by AntoFX, also great. The armoured gloves are by darkmyth78 and lautasantenni. And finally just the box outside of GNR is from jckspacy because I hate using creation kit.
