In which I build a Monocrys Tacsuit (Pyramid #3/85: Cutting-Edge Armor Design)

Say, it isn't that bad! · 04-20-2020, 09:48 PM

Having learned that gambeson armour could reach at least 2 inches of thickness, and having recently got my hands on Pyramid #3/85, I decided to build my own Monocrys Tacsuit, with historical context and historically-reasonable weight of material. I also redid the Ultra-Tech Monocrys Tacsuit. Both of which, it seems, are either actually Nylon, or Magnetic Liquid Armour.

Name: Heavy Monocrys Tacsuit
Tech Level 11
Coverage: All locations *rules details snipped*
Number of Pieces: Suit (jumpsuit)
Material: Magnetic Liquid Armour *rules details snipped*
Construction: Optmized Fabric *rules details snipped*
DR: 90/45
Time to Don: 3 seconds
Concealment: No.
Weight: 49 lbs
Cost: $10,000
General Accessories: Biomedical Sensors *rules details snipped*

Code:

TL  Armour                  Location    DR      Cost    Weight  Don
11  Monocrys Tacsuit        Suit        40/20   $4,400  22      3
11  Heavy Monocrys Tacsuit  Suit        90/45   $9,800  49      3

Note: It's rather odd that the Ultra-Tech armour design system lists armour materials from TL6 to TL9. There also doesn't seem to be a way to calculate legality class, like there was for Blaster and Laser Design.
