Heavy, bulky, dependent on the atmosphere. If I want it to fly, it will be fusion rockets for "moon suits" or ducted fans for "planet suits". > >* Neutrino communicators.

Nice punch, but the weight of the power cells is a problem. There is little spare power for recharging in the field at this TL, unless it comes from the transport vehicle. 15-lb. railgun, 5mm APS, RoF 20*, 6d*3(2), effective WPS 0.0053. Nice low WPS, but the damage won't even scratch a serious suit. A 30-lb. gatling on this caliber could be used for point defense, but just how many weapons does a suit need? A big anti-suit beam like the particle beam, a non-lethal sidearm, a high-RoF popgun, and we haven't talked about missiles yet.
