What id like would be damage reistance brought back in, maybe having the power armor give a base DT of lets say 20 and damage resistance of 50 (so that it protects against explosives and deathclaws and other high damage single attacks as well)
Also a perk that makes u crit immune (like light armor) and gives you a movement speed bonus (instead of extra crit chance)
And of course a perk for medium armor that gives some cool stuff.
again, im glad your not designing my armor and weapons in Fallout new vegas...might as well put a gun in there, erase everything else, and call it "the Gun" that does 999 damage a shot :/
my opinion:make the armor 5 points lighter then usual armor, and give it +1 strength, and no movement penalty, period. a DT of 20 is nice I suppose, or 25, even though none of this matters, since Deathclaws cut through armor like a hot knife through butter. but I would like a NEW design of armor..the typical T45d-b series just drop dead gets boring..
