No response. Pity.
See if there are entire systems which would also improve the reaction time (due to something like increased negative feedback, for example) - however, look for only those not involving synth-flesh.
Look for human size or few times that big cloth armor, worth up to 30 tokens.
Test how many four-circuit overcharge shots can a gauss rifle withstand, and reinforce the overall design if needed. See if something  can be done to increse the coils' durability, and how much would the spare coils for the current design be.

((@GM Ah, okay. As for the document - so, I may just continue keeping track of it, or is there any other decision on your part?))
'Explode' the battlesuit, copy the armor sections, resize them as needed and mount on the 2x exoskeleton.
Run the simulation of how big (if actually possible) would 3x exoskeleton be.
Compare the prices and power outputs of the gauss rifle and gauss cannon power generators/charging circuits.
By the way, Steve, are there any organical nonhuman companions available? Something  like a dog or a non-Earth equivalent of a dog. Those alien lifeforms, when not fully sentient or self-aware, can sometimes be nearly as good as the animals from our ancestral homeworld. When properly trained, of course.
QUICKEDIT: Oh, I just remembered. Considering that deadpool, Steve, are we allowed to make bets outside it, specificly on the things not covered by it (such as 'how many limbs would a specific comrade retain after the mission' or something like that)?

(( Also, how do you think, people, should I go for Mk II suit/variation thereof, or just head straight for the Mk III with the built-in exoskeleton (which is actually cheaper than just purchasing an exoskeleton and a Mk II suit one at a time)? Probably aiming for the battlesuit (the basic or upgraded one) in the end, but the availability of these new 'baby-size' exoskeletons and the fact that I don't (or should I?) really need the mobility provided by the Mk III thrusters make the number of options here staggering.  ))

(( Well, I'm sure Steve and the scientists will be able to brainwash them back into normal (or less so) state of mind. That or contain them like Faith and Ivan.
Failing either of those options... well, dismantle for other purposes, I'd guess - I mean, Steve needs new brain material over time, right? Still, I bet they'd be able to get the infected back into service, even if that means completely wiping their minds and personalities. ))

I've got an idea, Nick. How about replacing the over-priced synth-flesh with something cheap and viscous? Oh, and making that layer much thicker, say, 100mm or more.
Extra usefulness if that way it would absorb more incoming radiation (thus lessening the amount and severity of 'assisted fission suntans').

Really? Hmmm, thank you for the information. Maybe I can benefit this way too.
Also, how do you think, about what should be the desired rate of fire for single shots? I mean, 5 seconds to recharge is probably too much, the enemy would have at least half a dozen tries at killing you before you get a second shot. But is 2.5 seconds time frame okay? Or should it be more like 1.7 seconds? Or perhaps 3.3 seconds would suffice?

Not like today, where every soldier is a walking weapon of mass destruction, and battles are won in moments. How primitive they were.

(( Propaganda lies! Spinal_Taper, remember about Hexbrax! It was pretty much trench warfare, according to the simulation!
Just kidding ))

That shot thing...yeah fuck me. Not gonna be able to do that.

(( Pity Then, looks like I'll have to resort to the good olde method of guess it & test the guess in the field. ))

Update the research data document, and back it up. ((I'll update it after this action is performed - you know, there can be sudden power outage, giant explosion killing everyone in the VR room and such. ))
Make two more exoskeleton designs - one with 1/5 strength of the regular one, and one with twice that strength. Perform various tests on the stronger variant, reinforce with stronger materials, if needed. Check its price.
Re-make the reinforced gauss rifle (able to withstand several-circuit-simultaneous overpower shot).

Hmmm,

Say, Steve, have there been instances of 'Corps' missions taking place in the middle of a full-blown military event?

Sure, no problem. As for the exoskeletons - that was part of the plan. Oh, and the bigger one... you know, for the bigger guns.
Something to level large chunks of fortifications without getting any 'fission assisted suntans'.
