The lack of rules for legality seem to be an oversight, which was corrected in the third of the series, Ultra-Tech Armor Design (Pyr. #3-96). It's just a shot paragraph, and says much the same as you'd get from comparing with comparable armour in UT, or using the rules for Control Rating and Legality in Campaigns (B506-507) and asking "Who is this armour intended for?". Such a heavy suit as this would probably be 'military', but the only armour in UT that's LC1 is military powered suits, so I'd give it LC2.

By the way, I think you 'don time' should be 15, not 3 (single-piece, leg and other location, non-flexible), unless they're supposed to be flexible, in which case their don time should be 6.
