Options & Weapon Systems
for Optiarmor
Note, these options can ONLY be installed in the OPs for the Main Body, and will not function if placed in arms, legs, or sensor pod/head locations, and may, in fact, damage or destroy the Optiarmor if emplaced in these locations.
Power Systems
All Optiarmor save for the Type 6 is powered by an Electrothermal Fuel cell that provides two months of continuous power before needing a recharge, which takes one full day. If the user prefers, he or she may change that power system for a variety of different units, as listed below.
Regenerative Fuel Supply 1 OP $15,000 25 kg
This fuel supply uses a catalytic fuel converter that will function in any
Oxygen-Nitrogen atmosphere to produce fuel for as long as the unit is in one
piece. It will produce one day's worth of fuel for each hour of operation,
up to the storage tank's maximum or 30 days, at which point an automatic
cut-off stops the fuel production until there is room in the internal tanks.
Power Booster 1 OP $20,000 25 kg
WARNING: PROLONGED USE OF THIS OPTION MAY CAUSE IRREVERSABLE DAMAGE TO THE
OPTIARMOR.
This unit supercharges the existing power system so that it provides twice
as much power to the Optiarmor's linkage as before. But, prolonged use (More
than 5 turns at a time) will begin to cause structural failures in the armor
- See Technical faults chart on page xx.
When in operation, this unit provides the following bonuses: -
+10 PS x2 running speed
Fusion Generator 2 OP $50,000 50 kg
This is a miniaturised Fusion generator, using stable Helium/Hydrogen
isotopes to provide continuous power for 1 year, this is the power unit in
the Type 6 Optiarmor.

Optiarmor can use extra OPs to expand their defence as can their larger brethren, but this will slow the Optiarmor's performance, and cases a negative characteristic modifier to be applied.
