OOC:What tech are you
That's fairly obvious isn't it?
---
OOC: For lack of a better thing to do I decided to respond to your survey.
Order of Preference
1 - Reliability
2 - Stealth
3 - Size (Smaller size to reduce risk of detection)
4 - Speed
5 - Price
6 - Weight
7 - Weapons
8 - Armor (Must be capable of resisting most small arms fire)
9 - Value (Eh?)
---
* Resistance to Chemical and Biological weapons
* Operation time of 48+ hours
---
No
Heavy Machine Guns, Sub Machine Guns
Ammunition Capacity
Undecided
OOC:What tech are you
OOC: Ummmm Futuretech. With modern and fantasy tech armies in holding so that I can operate in any. Most everything I do is future but lately I have been forced to operate more in modern tech.
The Blackguard: Thundercorp has reviewed your survey for a stealth/scout suit. At this point Thundercorp does not offer a stealth suit but has two very capable scout suits. We will do our best to produce a stealth suit to rectify this.
OOC: By Value I mean how much bang for your buck you get. In your case I would probably end up charging a huge ammount as you want it reliable but value is low... so you would get less for much more so to say. Though it would still be an excellent product, just overpriced, and if you used it on the proper missions it would make back that money a hundredfold either in lives, or stolen tech.

Chairman Keel, in his infinite wisdom, would like to purchase the most advanced suit of powered armour that you have available for his personal usage, in these warlike times against OTHAFA, price shall be no object but Keel would like the most advanced protective systems possible, as well as scope for further improvements to be made by SEELE-NERV scientists.

Currently the most advanced suit of Padmasan Powered Armour is the Doomguard Armour System. It costs 1.5 trillion dollars (when the full stats are released you will understand) features not only extensive cybernetic modification of the wearer, but self repair systems, ect. The wearer can only remove the helm and gauntlets for the rest of his life. Of course, a tank round wouldn't even stop it so....
The wearer of the Doomguard Armour, to attain its full usefullness, must be a psion. Even untrained psionic talent is needed for the suit's primary functions to work. We could put a non-psionic into the suit we would simply have to cut out many of its more costly and more usefull systems.
Any attempt to modify the Doomguard system will likely cause not only both fusion gneerators to detonate but will probably kill the user... Padmasan techs can of course make modifications as we gain more and more tech to keep the suits current, but we advise others not to attempt modifications as they usually prove fatal.
This solution is not for everyone and despite its power some would argue that it isn't worth it. Padmasa is willing to create a new system for supreme defensive value that will cost much much less than the Doomguard Armour. If you desire this option to be taken we will set to work immediatly.

Very well, SEELE-NERV will help fund research

This is of course, not necessary and not desired. Your funds will be returned as Thundercorp will not allow any others to have even the slightest stake in the product or rights to produce it. (By funding it you would be entitled to the production rights) While production rights are sold, they are sold only on older weapons that we can afford to do such with. A suit of armour will be ready for the Thundercorp re-opening approximately one week from now. (It all depends on how fast I can get pics and write up stats for grav-ships and some other little projects.)
