I'm not saying they are wrong, just wondering about trade-offs. Just how much is the armor volume rule costing me? Do I spend too much on stealth? Or is that stealth going to be worth every pound? Are my arm motors oversized? > I wonder if fire support/artillery might be better modeled as 4-legged > mecha. It would seem to be a more stable platform, for one thing. A four-legged vehicle wouldn't be form-fitting. Going to a cramped crew station increases the volume quite a lot. Human buildings and stations are for bipeds. How would a quadruped do in a stairwell? Or is the biped getting so large that it starts hitting the ceiling? Or will the heavy support team stay outside while the rest of the platoon goes inside? Is stability going to be an issue? Will the support suit, with relatively few shots, ever fire on the move unless it is against a close-range target? Is there a way to visualize a feed mechanism for 200mm shells from the body to a forearm-mounted railgun or is a turret/pod-mounted gun the only choice? Only the designs can tell.
