Yep, it was. And I think +2 Str is generally for using items in a lower category, like "Requirements: Synth-flesh/+2 Str Robobody" or something. Regular exoskeleton is somewhere between robobody and synth-flesh, though, IIRC. Not sure how powerful Syv created his HRBs.

[renegadelobster]

I think they are strong as a battlesuit or stronger actually. I think they're using the same powered skeleton as a battlesuit, but with less weight on them

[Sean Mirrsen]

Strength and other stat requirements still exist, but are diminished or overridden entirely by having a stronger body than the weapon requires. If the weapon lists +2 strength but not a body type, it means that a regular human would need +2 strength to wield it, but an exoskeleton-equipped human, a synthflesh person, or a piloted battlesuit could wield it with 0 strength.

And HRBs have roughly the strength of a battlesuit, IIRC. They don't use the same skeleton, they're custom made and much more compact, but have greater strength for their size because of the same musculature improvements that give the Assault Suit twice the strength of a Battlesuit.

Piecewise, you should definitely get that and then let's play it.  It looks perfect for you.

@thegamemaster
When you decide to finalize your character, you should post in the on-ship thread.  You'll start with five tokens, and can buy stuff from the armory in the same post that you put your char sheet in.  If you want more tokens, I'm willing to offer a loan.

Also, there will likely be several equipment prototypes available for the next mission (your first), unless PW decides to change that mechanic.  Prototype equipment is next-gen equipment made by R&D players, which is free for one mission.  It's a nice boost to get.

You assume I'm not already doing that?  Such little faith you have in me.

Piecewise:  It was brought to my attention that Lars has a bit of a discrepancy.  He's been using the PSL which is listed at Exo/+2 Str for requirements, but he is actually +0.  That said, he's in a battlesuit.  Is this an acceptable compromise or is he actually ineligible?

Like others have said, your body cancels that requirement out.

Can I check what prototypes there are on the wiki, if so what page is it on?

[Toaster]

PW:  Thanks; just making sure.

Team Fund - Prototypes for testing. Might be somewhere else as well.

Note, that page is outdated right now, and should get updated once this batch of missions ends.

Note: HRB isn't capable of withstanding 1/16th kiloton nuclear explosion point-blanc. As in, annihilated. Apparently, that is all the info available after test run.

[Sean Mirrsen]

That wasn't a 1/16th. That was closer to a 1/4, likely bigger.

[Radio Controlled]

Hey pw, now that manips changed and only need the human brain in order to function, does that mean we can now give manips to sods or robots to use? If not, why not?

[AoshimaMichio]

(((SO I'm awake now from the cryo pod?)))

Nope. When we are back pw will say so in very clearly.

[Hapah]

I think he's permadead from shanking himself in the face, though, so he's a new guy. So maybe?

My char is perma dead from punching himself to death with his arm. I only wanted to straighten the arm out but instead I tore it off and shoved it in the eye

[AoshimaMichio]

Ah well. In that case did you post your new char somewhere?
