steamtacular Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 A thought occurred to me while I was editing a texture to try and add various decals/graffiti to it. By the time the last DLC comes about the average courier will be a heavily armed, powered armoured demigod with lots of experiences to his name. So what would he be wearing? No doubt a suit of T-51b or Advanced Power Armour MK1 covered in things relating to his adventures. Perhaps some paint on it reminiscent of the Dead Horses tattoos. Tech from the big empty. Something from the Sierra Madre? Along with the emblem of whatever faction he serves. Would anyone ever be interested in doing this?A few sets of the real Courier 6 Power Armour.

Befo Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I actually like the way the Courier 6 Power Armor looks, though I have a few ideas about changing it myself. First, I'd change the base armor to be Ashur's Power Armor from the Pitt. It has a cobbled together look, and I like most of the decals it has. I'd replace the "x" chest decal with the Courier 6 PA ones, then add the remaining ones to the suit. I'd like to see some more decals (such as the ones on the Courier Uniform mod) added to the armor, especially an Old World flag as a reference to your relation with Ulysses. I'd also like to see the right pauldron (opposite the brahmin skull) be replaced with the raider painspike pauldron, similar to the berserker armor in Gopher's fiendish power armor mod. Add in the kama from that mod as well. I know the armor will still retain it's rusted, beat-up look, but that's what makes it so endearing for me. Besides, looks can be deceiving, hehe. I have done extensive work under the hood. :) I have a personal mod I have made that greatly upgrades the functionality of the helmet. I started by adding Project Nevada's visor overlay, AR Scanner, night-vision, thermal and EM vision. I also tossed in water-breathing and TAC/Detect Traps functions from Adv Recon Gear, and a helmet mounted flashlight from Flashlight NVSE. I'm still having a little trouble getting the TAC and Detect Traps fully integrated, but I should have that sorted out soon (I hope). For the armor, I have shifted a few stats around, and added a stealth field while sneaking. I am still working on a way to add in Kasdar's Medical Injection System to the armor (for now I just wear the collar). Then I use Powered Power Armor, though I have yet to find a way to have PPA treat the Courier armor as composite (to eliminate the stealth penalties). I hope to release this upgrade mod once I have permission from all of the authors (the file has 4-5 masters, each from different author's). As for the model, that is beyond my modding abilities at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huntsman2310a Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 guess it depends on your play style. If he is a heavily armoured solderin' type, then give him his own custom power armour and matching big gun. If he is a Legendary Gun-Slinger, give him a awesome duster and nice hat.

steamtacular Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 Well after playing old world blues and building on the original idea of the armour reflecting your couriers experiences I figured it would be better to use the cardiac sneak suit as a base. Perhaps adding a bit of extra armour to it and various things relating to the various DLCs, major factions, quests in the vanilla game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
