Originally posted by MitchGusta [/b]Name: [/b] Ferrum EVA-FS. Ferrum Extra Vehicular Activity and Flight Suit. [/b]Description: [/b]An armored suit slightly larger in stature than the wearer, with sleek plating covering most of the user, and a small helmet covering the wearer's head. The boots, forearms and upper back house gravitic propulsion systems, visually reminiscent of small vents. The hands have a vibroblade in the back of each wrist. Laser cannons are in either hand, situated in the palm. The upper back also houses the power unit, and an insert for oxygen tanks. Colours are variable on the suit. [/b]Abilities: [/b] -A small neural interface located on the neck allows for efficient control over tools and changing tools on the fly. -Gravitic Propulsion allows it the capacity to fly, at a rate of 20mp/h, in atmosphere. This method of propulsion is quicker to start and change direction, compared to fuel oriented. -Hand mounted lasers are built to either cut or weld through thick pieces of metal, and make short work of most materials. -The lasers are variable, if short ranged. They can be in quick pulses for tac-welding/small cuts, a consistent beam for a slow weld/cut, or a concentrated beam with a short lasting burst, for cutting through thick material. -There are hardlight vibroblades in the back of each hand, built to shear smooth and precise lines in materials that are being cut. -The systems can be aided via onboard VI that can stabilise and guide the wearer, through mechanical components on the shoulders and arms, -It contains a suite for wiring and circuitry, to repair damaged systems and electronics. -It has an advanced visual suite, to allow vision in any conditions. -It is built to be used in the vacuum of space, and is thus sealed against any potential contagions or toxins. The in built oxygen tank can last up to 90 minutes. -Energy Shielding is built into the suit, designed to handle fast-moving debris and detritus in space. -Whilst the shield is active, EMP's are nullified. At least 3 separate pulses are needed to disrupt the shielding. [/b]Conditional abilities (optional): [/b] -In the vacuum of space, the shield functions at peak capacity, easily handling debris moving at hundreds of miles an hour, and other comparative projectiles, as well as working as excellent radiation and energy shielding. -The welding equipment is far more effective in hard vacuum, being able to greatly exceed it's atmosphere safe temperatures, and can perform at comparatively impressive speed. Namely about 3 times the usual efficiency. -Mobility. The Gravitic Propulsion is far less limited in space, allowing for precise and adept motion, at over 10 times the speed in atmosphere, namely 200mp/h. [/b]Limitations: [/b] -The suit is only somewhat armored, comparable to light metal armor with flexible portions on joints. -The propulsion systems are a perpetual weak point in the armor. -The power source for the suit is located on the back of the suit, alongside the oxygen storage for EVA operations. If compromised, it will release the energy in a volatile blast, likely killing the user, and those within a 5-12 foot radius, depending on the severity of the damage. -EMP's notably interfere with on-board systems, and may even incapacitate the user. [/b]Conditional limitations: [/b] -In atmosphere, the shield is dangerous to use for more than brief periods whilst working with the cutters, and can result in immense generation of heat, injuring the wearer and those nearby if overheating. -The cutters can overheat in atmosphere, compared to in hard vacuum, meaning that the usage of the three mentioned modes, The pulse, slow beam, and concentrated beam, can only be used sparingly, as opposed to constantly. -The propulsion systems are limited in atmosphere, and are comparably weak to activity in hard vacuum. They have a limited flight duration, no more than 5 minutes, when in atmosphere. -In Atmosphere, a weight limitation on potential supported mass occurs, at 800lb, including the users mass. This is due to the gravitic propulsion having limited in atmosphere capacity and risk overheating and exploding, if exceeded by a substantial margin, at 1200lb. -When separated from a power source for at least a period of two full days, the suit will run out of power and become inoperable. [/b]How does it work: [/b] Gravitic Propulsion, Neural Integration, Vibroblades, and Lasers. Utilising an Exo-Suit as a base, and combining that with welding and wiring equipment, vibroblades, and giving it the capacity to maneuver in zero gravity environments with gravitic jets, and the result is the Ferrum EVA-FS.
