Dont know much about the Athena power armor other than it was co-designed between the Enclave and Posideon (from wikia) and was supposed to be the strongest power armor in use before the war. I honestly dont think we would see this since it was supposed to be an incomplete project. Maybe one of a kind prototype that isnt as strong as it was stated to be.

I was just thinkin (dreamin) since a lot of stuff from "Van Buren" returned in New Vegas. It'll be awesome if it does show up at some point, I love wearing power armor and also love variations :)

I don't see the point, I think that it would be quite prudent to assume that whatever had been completed on ATHENA was continued by the Enclave post-war anyway. Just because it was going to be the best before the war doesn't mean that it's superior to everything.

I agree, I loved Power armor in FO3 but with the DT that makes power armor actually worth a damn I love it even more. Only beef I have is that the death claws I think do alittle too much damage to power armor. But maybe its to be expected but is annoying when you get jumped by 5+ death claws and your in power armor and they just shread you to pieces in one - two hits.

I would how ever like to see more variations to power armor. Maybe a "neutral" power armor that doesnt have any faction hits like BoS or Enclave armor does. Maybe something like the prewar medic power armor from FO3. Something from before the war, one of a kind, and not associated with a faction. Athena power armor would fit that bill nicely I think.

Enclave, that is what I am thinking. I dont expect to see it but it would be nice to see a prewar power armor that is new for a change even if its a prototype.

You mean like the faction-neutral T51b you can already buy at the Hidden Valley Bunker? :hubbahubba:
That said, I wouldn't mind some other sets of PA. I never wear those Tin Cans, but I like collecting them :)

That is faction neutral? Didnt know, I looted the T51b`s off those poor svckers that the Elder sent out to get killed repaired one set of T51b and used that. If I would have known I would have bought one from the hidden valley bunker.

Only issue is I am trying to do the stupid laser quest but the idiot that is supposed to be in the target range watching over it isnt there. Cant go back to a previous load since I am already 5 hours past that point so might have to do it on my 4th play through.

I rather see some sort of hybrid between T-45/54/APA/APA MKII.

Then perhaps the APA mk2 uses some of it's advancedments?

It could use some of its advancements. I still havent even found APA in the game, best I found is the remnant power armor. Guess its time to pull out the wiki to see where it is cause I know its in here since I seen alot of people talk about it.

Nevermind the Remant power armor is the advanced power armor as far as wiki says. Didnt know that so I guess I do have it.

Remnant's Power Armor is the original APA, the one used by the Enclave in Fallout 3 is APA mk.2.

Unless it turns out to be like Tribal Power Armor. Was kinda pointless and not even cool looking.
