I'd let Wes say something before a mod looks at it tbh.

This suggestion has been implemented. Votes are no longer accepted.
Are there shields or not? If it is just the energy cloak then you may want to move the cloak two it’s own header rather than nesting it under shields, then remove shields entirely.

Also, are we getting rid of the ‘no shields unless you’re wearing some armor’ rule? I’m totally for that since SARP’s volumetrics tech is already super widespread.
 
FM approved.

Suggestion: Move the history section up to near the start.
 
If i may make a couple more suggestions as a community member

The mobility section lists the devices it uses relevant to its mobility but could probably use expanding to give a brief description on if:
- it boosts speed or not
- boosts strength relative to agility based actions (like getting gud front flips)

Also just a reading thing that stuck out to me like a glowing weapoint, thanks english class, in the controlling the suit section it becomes semi future tense which ultimately is spooky in wiki articles.
Current: user movement is how the use will control...
Suggested: user movement is how the user controlls...
This should fit nicely in place of the original if you decide to use it ^^
 
I took those things into account besides the agility boost, which is not relevant to this suit as it does not boost strength.

Thank you for FM approval, Wes.

Now I think it is ready for @META_mahn to come back and take a look.

What do you mean? It's only got 1 paragraph of any length in the equipping section.
 
It isn’t an issue that’ll hold up approval, but it isn’t simple either, like a “basically hop in a Mindy.” It would be nice to shorten it but if that’s as far as it can go it’ll have to do.
 
The Mindy article has about four paragraphs for getting in and out.

I also am thinking of giving it a Tier 2 rating as it is made of really nice materials and has a photonics array. Would that be an issue?

Speeds would look like:
Maximum atmospheric speed (For earth-like worlds): 1500 kph (9321 mph), Mach 1.40 at sea level
Maximum space speed: .35c - Software-limited to 10 G acceleration

I just dumbed down what the same engines do on the Mindy and did maths.

Wes would this work for nomenclature:
Ke-S1-01
 
Alright then, that's fine for the in-and-out.

Everything else looks okay. You're not asking for it to be a little more defensive in the shield department?
 
I would just be adding that it has a DRv3 Tier of 2. Are you saying I should go to 3?

Thanks Soresu.

There was RP describing the XO going and seeking out Clothblades with crew at some point before these were made.
 
I mean, it would be nice for a Shibui to be able to stop some higher-caliber rounds. It makes sense (to me, at least.)

It would fit the role it's given.
