    make for them to arm the power armor, give it the ability to sustain flight, and give the mech a limited combat AI that has some ability to continue fighting without the pilot inside, and even heed general commands from them/share sensory data with them?

    AKA should it just be a titan from titanfall?

    At that point, does the additional (fairly small, relative to the other expensive hardware involved) investment in a combat ready flying piloting suit and an AI piloting mode for the mech justify itself?

    How big's the armor? I'm imagining a more up armored flight suit ala Pacific Rim.

    Doesn't that make the mech overall *more* fragile and easier to kill?

    Also, technically speaking, minus the pilot-with-your-mind & true AI... the TSFs from Muv Luv Alternative technically would count...

    Cockpit block integration for conversion for PA usage being technically a thing, but at the same time, that first requires *not dying* so it kinda veers into useful useless detail.

    Imabot and Plotvitalnpc like this.

    Certainly makes some sense IMO. An environmental suit that's capable of supporting the pilot if they need to eject in an emergency.

    Could even have the suit function as something like a hypersensitive mocap suit, with the mech mirroring the pilots movements. Though I'd still have them bolted in while piloting.

    No, Reinzero, Machina Domini Interface actually massively improves the mech's survivability, as well as pilot survivability. The only thing in that post that isn't canonically possible is adding the backup AI piloting system.
