Mini naquada generators?

So currently its a tethered powerloader.
It's a step in a scary direction.

scary direction bah! Back in the fifties we were promised (well my parents and grandparents) rocket boots and a robot slave race to do our every whim. Too little too late in my opinion.
Anyone wants to build themselves a power suit for SG.
My advice
Make it look good.*
Make sure you have expermental kit background feat.
Tell the plot co-ordinator well in advance, to make sure they are happy having it in the system.
Tell the system refs so they can have a think about its stats.
this really applies to any toys you want to build for your characters..
* we are simple creatures refs, shiny things that look impressive are less like to breakdown after five minutes IC.
As a rough guide power armour made out of tin foil and gaffa will have an IC battery life of 2-3 seconds, and you will be targeted by every monster crew member we can throw at you. As you are taking the piss and we are vengefull and petty
Something looking like this on the other hand...

I like the middle one, but I'd hate to be stopped in my tracks by "Gort Klaatu Barada Nikto!"
I think unlike Troy Hurtubise I won't go bankrupt and have to sell the thing on ebay.

Does anyone else think the guy in the Halo Suit looks suspeciously like Alex Armstrong/Harry Font ?
