Grey ACP suit, ACP stands for "Armored Combat Plataform", it is an exosuit developed to provide armored close-combat support to grey units with extreme agility compared to Human AMPs.

The basic ACP version comes with a basic anti-infantry weaponry.


This ACP was designed to carry "small" plasma torpedo batteries, dealing irreversive damage to any ground obstacle, long reloading, best used against armored units and buildings.


This ACP was designed to stay shooting relentless and endless, a meat grinder that will keep shooting on its targed even after its enemy went out of its sight. It's also usefull to shoot down low flying objects and aircrafts.


A very versatile ACP, mixing mid-long and melee range, the emp missiles of this unit might not deal much damage, but they renders most of mechanic foes vulnerable to its energy sword. Also thanks to this emp property, even after a non directly hit, these missiles exels in taking down aircrafts.


A top line stealth prototype ACP, that recreate the effect of chamaleons skinsuit, perfect for scouting and supporting chamaleon infantry, dealing moderate damage on the frontlines.

You know the drill, comments in bold

So we should balance them around the AMPs ha? Can do.

Sure

Hm ok, this will be locked behind advanced plasma weapons

Em both anti ground and anti air unit... Well ok

But... EMP on aircraft would be like one shot one kill right? I prefer to avoid that. Can we keep this thing as ground only?

Sure, but lock behind same tech as chameleons

Great.

About emp missiles, well, depends on how isulated is the eletrical system of the aircrafts, and how much is the digital dependance of the machine, if it is fly-by-ware, then it certainly should be affected, if not, them its about pilot mastery to hold the ties.

Anyway, what about if it owns 2 abilities, one basic aa missile and a ground emp missile then?

That would be fine. Btw, am I wrong or are they bigger than AMPs?

A draft suggestion, I kinda copied the human ones - we should probably change the stats but I don't know how. Tell me what you think.

I guess that's solid base, anyway, we can always adjust their stats after some field-testing.

Maybe they could trade some attack for armor and hp?

Actually wait, I looked into wrong stats of AMPs, and this ACPs have way too much hp.
