One thing I would like to see on any suits is better chest protection, for those with braincases in the torso. it would help out the fleshies, too.

@syvarris: Homestuck does not descend into idiotic drivel. It elevates into idiotic drivel. And then gets back to plot. And then repeats. And then goes on hiatus. And then comes back with plot.

Found some notes I had on battlesuit plate in an old text file, thought I'd share.

The battle suit's armor is very complex, made of 5 layers of armor. The first 3 layers are identical, while the last two are heavier and thicker. The first three are made of some sort of metal meta-material which has been mixed with untold thousands of hair thin metallic fibers, like fiberglass. These fibers are so prevalent and reflective that they cause lasers to deflect and have difficulty focusing on an specific point, acting as insulation as well as greatly reinforcing the metal.

The inner layers are a more traditional straight meta material that seems designed more to protect against brute force.

The fibers in the battlesuit are a form of metal alloy that have very good tensile strength and heat resistance.

I should probably add that to the wiki later.

Today:
Got a pocket watch to replace my old one
five books on black magic were delivered
A random black guy with no shirt walking into traffic  in front of my car, forced me to stop, and then dropped his pants and screamed incoherently at me.
I got shocked by a stun gun. Twice.
I bought a skeleton.

We haven't thought of a name for him yet. Someone suggested Agent Skully.

Name my skeleton.

Skulduggery Pleasant. Can't think of anything else right now, I've been beating people up with a giant stick all day.

My girlfriend got to him.

Oh hey, I love those books. I'd second this. Or maybe Mr. Bones or Sir Skellington.

[Parisbre56]

Some of you people lead very interesting lives. Were those events related to each other?

Also, looking cool ms. Skelebabe.

Uhh...

syvarris!  Nah, you wouldn't do that.
Pie- no...

Shalzethtol?  Original perplexicon for necromancy?  Shalz for short?

Morte?  La Petit Morte?


...Yeah, I'm not very creative.  Sue me.

Morty?

Skelebro?
Dr. Tommy, sort for anatomy?
Dr. Von Ost, sort for οστό?
Dude D'ivoire?

[Harry Baldman]

Call him (at least I'm reasonably sure it's a him, judging from the subpubic angle) Ossie!

Make sure to put in something for the eyes, too. Adds character. Especially if chestnuts are used.

[Parisbre56]

Oh, oh, call him Mini Me! Because of your avatar.

EDIT: And I just realized, piecewise is a hipster, because he had his avatar intensify before it was cool. 

[Tavik Toth]

I still can't figure out what his vaster is from.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Anyways, they'd probably stop once they realized it brought the number of living troopers down significantly.

*Ahem*
Hotdrops.

Which have both safety equipment and a decent survival rate, so I don't see your point.

((So, finally trying my hand at a Mk-IV-something-suit. So far, what I hope to include:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

+2 Str/End
+1 Dex
Improved flight capabilities
Improved medical system
Improved hazardous environment resistance
Improved communications
Lots of useful software (Aux substitute rolls, HUD & map, etc.)
Support AI
Extra limbs (including standart-poking-metal-pole substitutes)
Surface-scaling ability
Brain-Computer Interface
Cam-eyes
(Possibly) In-built light/medium flexible armor
(Possibly) Something else I forgot

(As things tend to be cheaper when purchased together rather than apart, I intend to include as much as possible and get industrially-produced price somewhere around battlesuit or cheaper)

Now, many of these have been worked on before by other people as well, so I apologise for possible infringements in advance. All in all, I intend this to be more of a compilation project rather than pure prototype, tinkered into being for the good of community. Anyone up for a joint project, perhaps?
I also ask what you would like to see in a hypothetical Mk IV. What should be added to the list, and (if you think so) what should be removed?))

Grate would be glad to help out.
Perhaps rockets so it can maneuver in space?
Good luck with getting a decent price with all those features. Software, AI, limbs, perhaps flight, and maybe surface-scaling would be good things to cut.

EDIT: And I just realized, piecewise is a hipster, because he had his avatar intensify before it was cool. 

What does that me, since I won't no matter how cool it gets?
