1. Can the Sensor Jammers from Juicer Uprising and a Naruni Force Field be installed on the same body armor(as long as the M.D.C. is 50 maximum)? If so, can they both be in use at the same time or would one cancel out the other?
2. Armor in both Juicer Uprising and SoT 4: Cyber Knights say certain armors can be used with no or less penalty by these O.C.C.s when made for them ( Juicer Mankileer FEBA and Cyber Knight Modern-Looking Medium Cyber-Knight Composite Plate for example). Is it training that allows them to do this or pure physical strenght that determines this? If strenght, at what P.S. score could a character of another O.C.C. use them at the lower penalty?
Any help would be great.
1. Yes they can be used together without problems.
2. It's different for each suit of armor. The penalties from the Man-Killer armor are for weight, hence the high penalties for having PS 23 or less. The Cyber-Knight armors on the other hand are not very heavy (20 lbs. for the heaviest suit), just form-fitting and restrictive, thus those that are specially trained to use it or possess heightened agility have reduced penalties.
There you go man, keep as cool as you can. Face piles of trials with smiles. It riles them to believe that you perceive the web they weave and keep on thinking free.
As someone who is very used to wearing heavy armor (approx. 30kgs/66pounds) regularly, I think that it is a combination of skill and strength.
Firstly consider that wearing armor uses a specific series of muscles that aren't normally used so that even people that are usually considered strong may have difficulties. Also consider that the way armor moves and the weight distribution varies for different armors, I think that all characters that wear armor should have a skill in it.
Military types should get a bonus and it could possibly be similar to Robot Combat: Elite in that you specialise in one kind of armor and get Basic for the rest. Then all CS troops would be proficient in CS armor, which makes sense.
Trust me wearing armor every day definitely makes your back/legs stronger, and more used to moving about freely in it.
The word "THAN" is important. Something is "better than" something else, not "better then", it's "rather than" not "rather then".
It sounds to me like the NE-C20 Camouflage EBA with some extra features, so it would also be environmental.
