It really depends on the TL, even for ultra-tech. A monocrys bodysuit or reflex tacsuit is as good as the knight's plate armor. A reflex bodysuit is pretty vulnerable to everything but piercing and cutting. If you're in the latter, I'd worry about getting grappled and stabbed to death.
Ice guns and partisan needlers are pretty lousy weapons by DF standards; 2d pi- x3 will barely take down an unarmored orc and will fail terribly against the undead and constructs. I'd really want a heavy laser pistol and a portable solar recharger, but while ultra-tech says that power cells are rechargeable, it doesn't have any game mechanics for doing so nor a portable solar recharger.
