I had an idea for a robust, modular suit orderable via a kit in cargo that would take the light/medium/heavy armor system to its logical conclusion
the armor, when put up, covers the entire body minus the head, in the chest, there are five armor slots which start out empty, and in the kit that comes with it, are five suit pouches and five armor plates. The idea is to mix and match up your favorite combination of storage, protection, and agility. With no pouches or plates equipped, the suit would be roughly as agile as light armor, with pouches taking up some space and a medium amount of weight, with armor plating taking up a slot and a lot of weight
The user could customize their ideal suit on the fly to meet the current threat, without risking the integrity of the suit itself. Additions could include armor aimed at specific kinds of threats, and cooling modules to help recover stamina
Let me know what you think, im not a coder, or a spriter in any way, but i think this'd be a pretty neat and simple thing we could get if we had a nice sprite for it.
Maybe additionally add a pocket pouch that could carry a couple of suit storage pockets or armor plates for on the go swapping.
