I know this is kindof out of the blue and all, but you said these guys were supposed to be cannon fodder, and someone mentioned that power armored troops dying this fast was an immersion killer. . .so why not make an "enclave" style Combat Armor? You can make it all dark and evil looking, and that way the troops are still enclave but more like lower end grunts.
I know it doesn't really fit with the overall game(as MK 2 armor became base gear IIRC) but it would help explain their fodderishness.
Also, is there any way to disable the missile launcher on the sentry bots, or make them not use them in confined areas/indoors? I was going through (i think) the super duper mart and the stupid robot kept firing missiles into whichever wall I happened to be by. When you're level ten-ish and playing on v-hard with some hard mods it makes the game really annoying. The bots are fun and all but as of now I have stopped calling them in due to the ill advised use of indoor missile launching.
Everything else is absolutely fun. I had a friend make a mod that placed fat men and mirvs in every vertibird troops weapons(Geck wont even run on my pc for some reason ) which resulted in about eight hours of hilarity. . .something along the lines of them saying "Yellow alert, enemies nearby" and then my game chugging as six enclave soldiers launched 6-48 mini nukes in a confined space. . .ahhhh, i will have to post a screen shot of all the giblets flying around in the nuclear haze.
