Hey. As a life-long powered armor addict(well,more like a religion),let me just say,'Thanks'. I was noticing that if you search power armor tag here on Nexus,then filter for within one year,you get....not alot. Inwardly,I started to feel sick. Sweating ensued,and then...heyyyy,your mod. Yep,I'm familiar with the Starcraft suits. (Boy,what a 'punishment'. Imagine,you get welded into a suit of battle armour like that. 'Oh please your Honor,not that!' -sarcasm). Anyway,I just installed it,setting up mods for a new playthru. Got a rather tight list of PA mods,I'll see if it goes alright and get back to you. Very good.
The trailer for starcraft 2 is more accurate in visually describing how something like this would work.
Next we need a neck and head frame for the helmet because the human spine can't hold up a big clunky PA helmet and take the kinetic energy of bullets and whatever else smacking into the helmet. Two servos one on either side of the head prevent the helmet from flying back from impact of bullets if hit from the front or back and the whole assembly spins around left to right. The assembly would be inside the helmet so you just need to model the new bits into the GO model and done.
Pretty sure that's exactly what that bar in the wrist is for already, they just didn't bother modelling buttons to actuate the fingers because you can never really see it in any way that would make detail like that make sense.
You know that one funny looking mouse that Scribe Haylen sometimes sends you looking for? I feel like that's exactly what was supposed to go inside the forearm of a power armor suit.
And the arms should have had odd proportions, like the forearm being bulkier and longer, because then it would make sense that a human being whose body is almost twice as small as the frame, is somehow still able to bend without breaking bones.
But no, have an abomination of a skeletal structure just to make power armor suits look like upscaled humans with steel glued on. Never console command the PA suit off an NPC, trust me. I did that once and having a follower run at me in a pitch black night gave me nightmares.
