NCR Power Armor

[sgtKraigO]

 

This is just my thought and I don't really care if you decide to do this, but could it be possible to have most of the heavy troopers wear the vanilla armour while a few have the new armour. Since the T-45d is easier to obtain compared to the T-51b it would seem more realistic to find more troopers wearing the T-45d. Also the Scorched Sierra Power Armour is unique so having a bear head on every shoulder of every trooper would diminish the Scorched armour and make it seem average. Try adding some colour to the T-51b in a way that it looks rusty and maybe slightly dented, you could also have some missing a shoulder pad.

Thanks for the feedback, but this is just how i always imagined the heavy troopers. The power armor must be valued in the NCR as they went through all that trouble to have the wearer not have to have power armor training to wear it. Also i would assume the wearers of the armor would be NCR-Brotherhood war veterans so the armor would be decorated with bear heads as a sign of the service they have done for the NCR, or as a sign of rank. As Colonel Royez is the only one with a bear head I can only assume he fought in the war as well. I beleive the t-51b would be easier to aquire as that is probaly what the Brotherhood was wearing during the war.

 

 

Colonel Royez leads a lot of men and women and has a high rank so I would assume they would allow him to alter his uniform a bit as long as it was respectful. Power armour is sought after by the NCR because it offers more protection than regular armour and T-45d is easier to come compared to T-51b because it was what was used by the US military shortly before the end of the Great War. Since the armour is salvaged and has it's servos ripped out I would assume the NCR would use a set even if it was missing a shoulder piece or had a few dents. After all the vanilla salvaged power armour doesn't have the shoulder pieces.

I can see that working out, but its up to devinpatterson and not me. I just waiting to see what he has done with my original mod idea, and then if he wants to i can ask about those options.

Cool thanks! I hope it not too much to ask if we also did a salvaged helmet as well?

Yeah I imagine that if I have the time we can scuff up a helmet too. There was a good tutorial on aging posters in fallout. I'll google it when I have some spare time and see what I can do.

 

 

Another difference between base and NCR T-45d armor is that the NCR's is missing some parts, as it really isnt traditionally powered. Missing parts include the pauldrons and kneecaps

 

We should be able to do that (time permitting). If there isn't a mesh underneath the T-51b, then we can grab the mesh from the vanilla salvaged armor.

Since the T-45d is easier to obtain compared to the T-51b it would seem more realistic to find more troopers wearing the T-45d.

Yes, and we can do more than one version. So we could have Falloutgods69's vision of the mod and another one that would tie in to our independent NV mod a little better. I think that's a safe bet there are fewer 51b's. The Mojave chapter is listed as; "This Brotherhood chapter uses a mixture of both the T-45d and T-51b models of power armor, with the T-51b being much more widely used". So maybe 3/4 45d, and 1/4 51b?

 

Also the Scorched Sierra Power Armour is unique so having a bear head on every shoulder of every trooper would diminish the Scorched armour and make it seem average.

It's no problem to add the bear heads to just Falloutgods69's version of the mod, and 86 them for our version (for the VivaNV). Won't take any appreciable time. For the VivaNV version it might be worthwhile adding in some recovered BOS weapons as well;

 

"Their weapons are all extremely advanced, with tri-beam laser rifles being almost standard issue to the ordinary guard, while Gauss rifles are also used in high volume. Like most of the Brotherhood they will never have plasma rifles. Patrols sometimes even include heavier weapons such as the Gatling laser."

1/4 sounds good, maybe have the salvaged T-51b troopers around hoover dam, Camp McCarran, and Hidden Valley if you decide to throw in the NCRs capture of the place that is.

It sounds like these are going to be two kick-ass mods. The salvaged weapons idea sounds really cool too, I'm glad to see im not the only one with a vision for better salvaged power armor.
