If you drop the Grav Shield, you could give them a Hard Point for a Heavy Weapon. That way we can exploit the very Reason why they should wear Heavy Power Armor (besides getting more Protection)
I think the Holo Fields are worth it. We can stealth and are harder to hit at the same time. The Grav Shield is very expensive, but we have not seen the Ithilmar in Action yet.
Not really into the weapon hard points.
And yeah Holo-fields are worth it and as we want them on pretty much all troops the discount of 5 EP is pretty big.
My goal for the next baseline armor would be something like this for ranged units:
Heavy 2
Powered 1.75
3.75
Slots 8:
AutoTargeters 0.5
Holo-Field 3
Improved Power Assist 2 0.6
Extended Operations Modification 1 0.3
Enhanced Sensors 3 0.6
Total:8.75 EP per
Power assist to keep the mobility at a high level by Eldar standards.
Full sensor suit +AutoTargeters to up their accuracy and battlefield awareness.
Extended Operations because longer uptime is always nice.
The hard point one would be this?:
Heavy 2
Powered 1.75
3.75
Slots 8:
AutoTargeters 0.5
Holo-Field 3
Heavy Weapon Hardpoint +0.3 EP | 3 Slots | Max 1
Enhanced Sensors 3 0.6
Total:8.15 EP per ~9EP
Problem here is they would likely loss a good bit of mobility ...
A man 12 troop, using their Mirage as a weapons/shield platform and never leaves, might make this really nasty.
That would be 12 heavy weapons, + either 12 heavy weapons or 24 Normal/Rifle Ranged (see the +1 Non-Heavy Weapon they get from heavy power armor baseline).*
Edit: Not fully sure how the slots interact.
We get 12 from hard points, 12 troops and armor lets them move around with heavy weapons, question is now can we add another 12 weapons into the potentially still open +12 Non-Heavy Weapon slots, we get from the heavy power armor being heavy power armor ?
That is a lot of firepower to direct at something.
Best likely done with weapons that have the longest range we have.
*And for when you want the world burn, filled up a Mirage with a 12 man squad with 24 Heavy Flamers to likely burn their way through most infantry without ever getting out of their ride. But armor should be a different one for that without the AutoTargeters at the very least.
