I was playing as a Raider type character and the normal Raider armor has enough ranks and such to leave me satisfied. But when it comes to the Raider Power Armor, I was disappointed in the lack of armor upgrades and how poorly it scaled. There wasn't anyone else who had fixed this so I decided to do it myself and upload it for anyone else who might be interested as well.

Info:
This mod adds 3 extra ranks to the Raider Power Armor: Tempered Plate, Hardened Plate and Buttressed Plate. These are the ranks that are normally available for other Raider armor so they should be lore-friendly. I based most of the resources required and armor added on the T-45 Power Armor but with some slight modifications. Also altered the only Vanilla modification, Welded Plate, to fit better with the additional ranks. Also added the Jetpack Torso mod that is available for all other Power Armors.

Added two optional files which multiplies the DR changes by 1.5x and 2x, useful for those who have damage increasing mods.

Added another optional files that removes all Science requirements from all of the available mods, both Vanilla and new.

Version:

• 1.0 - Initial Release
• 1.1 - Added Jetpack to the Torso mods
• 1.11 - Fixed an error with crafting the Jetpack
• 1.2 - Fixed the mesh to make the Jetpack appear as intended

Jetpack Torso Mod

• Upgrade components: 6 Aluminium, 4 Adhesive, 7 Nuclear Material, 12 Steel
  

Known Bugs:

• Welded Plate doesn't have the +10 Energy DR to all parts I want, FO4Edit doesn't let me add it correctly. Will fix at a later date.
• The new ranks doesn't have the correct Roman numeral prefixes like Welded Plate has (II), no idea how you add that so they are just defaulted to no rank.
  

Future Plans:

• Fix the bugs.
• Add new upgrade components to the Welded Plate when I've fixed the Energy DR bug.
• Better textures maybe.
• More unique parts and balancing Tessa's fist to the ranks I added.
• Make different balanced ranks compared to other Power Armors.
• Getting the Jetpack some custom textures to better fit with the rest of the armor
  

Compatability:
Anything that alters the Raider Power Armor is most likely going to be incompatible

Installation:
Extract the files to the Data Folder.
Enable using your launcher of choice (NMM works).

Uninstallation:
Complain in the comments.
Remove the files from the Data Folder.
Move on with your life.
