want to look up how much weight is involved with waterbeds. If a house can
withstand the installation of a waterbed within it with modern construction
methods, then you may want to consider that this might be a good weight
limit to shoot for with internal "light battlesuits". Just musing...
I think an aquarium is even worse, easily over 500 lbs. and with
a smaller contact area.
A consideration is that these loads are static, whereas a powered armour
suit and trooper are not - they're running, leaping, and stamping about.
It wouldn't surprise me if 500 lbs of trooper and gear means taking care
not to break structural walls in high-rises, and not jumping in wooden
housing unless you want to risk ending up in the cellar (or more likely,
stuck halfway through the floor).
