The lower DR suit is $7K more, but has IR cloaking, stealth and chameleon systems while the DR 50 does not. The DR 30 suit is, basically, Heavy Combat Armor (UT2) with an exoskeleton and limited life support. It is intended for general issue (the earlier suit was for recon). >> >> Occ: cycle crew station >> > >> > VXi22, crew stations for battlesuits. >> >> Cycle crew stations don't have volume, so that rules doesn't apply. > > No extra volume, but the crew station is no ordinary crew station. > What is your suit size? is a normal human within the size range to > use the same crew station?
