Mod Request: Adding Neck Protection to a suit of APA

Post by Sandloon » Tue May 21, 2013 12:21 am

Ok, so Ive always wondered why Power Armor left that giant weak spot on the front of the armor, where the Helmet and Body connect on the front, I mean the shoulders are guarded by "Pads" but why is the front let so exposed? Medival Knight's had neck reinforcement that came off the main body, so why dont PA suits?

basically I was wondering if someone would be willing to add something along those lines to an APAMkIII of sorts (dont want to replace all the APA or APAMkII) In my mind it seems logical for protection from neck piercing shots, since if I had to go up against a man in a walking tank, I would take every weak point shot I could get.


If anyone is willing to do this please either leave a message here or PM me, I know its probably a lot to ask for, but I dont think I can do it very well. Thanks in advance : D

I'd try asking the Nexus. Problem is, it would only serve a purpose for aesthetics. The neck isn't really a limb of it's own. The only thing I could see being made is just a piece of metal attached to power armor, but it wouldn't really do anything. That's just me though.


I'm not alright, I'm an equal amount of left.

I know its just for looks, but in my mind its logical (and would possibly add a DT/DR or two).

Stick with aesthetics for compatibility issues. You should ask Gopher on the nexus and see if he could do it (he did a similar thing for the Ranger helmets for NV).


Also, our spell-checker does not like "aesthetics".

Also, apart from it being just for looks, I would hope that the piece would be hitboxed so that rounds that might normally hit the head, would be absorbed by the chest armor, therefore saving the user from taking a headshot multiplier.


EDIT: Sent Gopher a PM but it didnt go through because his mailbox is full. : /
