[Wes]

There are some empty sections like "Interior" and "Systems" that need text in them

 

[Ira]

Edited.

 

[Wes]

Unless anyone has any objections, I intend to approve this once 3 days have passed (to allow everyone fair time to comment).

 

[Ametheliana]

It looks like text wasn't actually added underneath systems.

 

[Ira]

Edited.

Also added newer art

The suit features FTL capability in the form of miniaturized Gartagen Hyperfold. This gives the armors the ability to rapidly re position or even relocate in system. Activation of the hyper-fold can be done on planet, how ever the range is short. Hyper folds take several minuets between each use to recharge.

This suggests that the "miniaturized" hyperfold functions a lot like Yamatai's power armor teleporters. But the linked-to article is for a full-sized FTL system that describes specific speeds in factors of c. The Marigold's mini hyperfold has no speed listed and, again, just seems to function like a teleporter. The Gartagen Hyperfold article has no category small enough to put onto a power armor, and further suggests that hyperfold technology is itself rare:

Only a few gartagen ships have foldspace drives, and these ships are designed to tow the others.

So it seems that, following submission standards, the miniaturized hyperfold is new technology and should probably get its own sub-article before the PA is approved.

I agree with Raz. Hyperspace tech has always been big, bulky tech in SARP which is why Mindy armors and other things with FTL capability have always used CFS (CDD) tech instead and most fold boosters like the one for the T8 shuttle are external add-on modules the size of caskets. It seems like a major leap in the setting's overall tech level when the overall setting really doesn't need a leap in tech. Essentially you're bumping against the general concept of what FTL is like in the Star Army RP, because approving this would disrupt that.

Also, Star Army's setting doesn't allow hyperspace folds inside of star systems at all (and hasn't since 2011, and before that it was only 2% speed and never allowed on planets), so I'm not sure how this would make sense in the first place.

 

[Ira]

Alrighty, I'll remove that bit.

Fred stated that said hillspheres are only off of planetary bodies, with 'shoal' zones depending on gravitational influence.

It's technically true that the term Hill Sphere refers to planets but the FTL restriction was based on the stars, so the term has been misused. I've edited the hyperspace article to say the star's "gravitational sphere of influence" instead so it's a little more clear.

Make that the stellar gravitational sphere to remove any confusion.

 

[Wes]

I've edited out the hyperspace drive at Ira's request and since no other objections were raised in the 3 days, this article is now approved.
