>>5217011You misunderstand, I don't mean power armor. I mean battlesuits. Now, you might ask "why". Well, one answer would be "to show that we can to future generations who doubt". The other more correct answer is "why not". It'd just be a nice bit of a thing to prove we can do with human tech anyone else can do but better.
Also I do wonder how we will compare to Iron Hands. There were some lore rumors that after a while, from battle damage and just plain "flesh is weak" some IH veterans have completely replaced almost everything except gene-seed and brain with bionics, becoming a marine shaped robot. What if we did that and skipped the gun. Imagine, not having to worry about bleeding to death, no more pain on wounds, to truly become part of a machine?
As for accelerators in the hands of mortals as standard weaponry, not a bad idea. I do think accelerators are still probably more complicated to build than laser technology though. Plus if they use solid slugs, its an additional logistics step since laser packs are so hardy you can just recharge them by throwing them in a fire if the techpriest isn't looking. But we should investigate.
>>5217011>Plasma weaponry is the best option that is uniquely suited for Lucius's situation due to artificial star power guaranteeing limitless munitions for plasma based ordinanceEntirely possible. Just think that we should go on a Pilgrimage to Ryza one day to truly capitalize on this fact. But the fact is, when you have a miniature star as a core, the possibilities of what you can power with it are endless.
