So I got some questions regarding the Frames themselves. I know a few things thanks to which I'll list in brief here, more details found in the thread;
Frame Control Scheme
-levers and pedals in some cases
---Military Frames mostly
---Easy to Pilot for long time periods, steep learning curve
-responsive exoskeletons
---labor/civilian frames
---like the Alien Powerloader
---Physically demanding to operate
---Easy to use
Muscle Cylinders/Muscle Cylinder Fluid(AKA Elbow Grease xD)
-Can build up a "muscle memory" of sorts.
-Muscle Cylinder Fluid contracts linearly if a current is applied.
So all that being said, I have some further questions.
-So seeing how MCs Function, would it be safe to assume that Civilian frames rely on Batteries/Capacitors while Military frames have some form of Reactor/Generator?
-So, seeing as MCs can build up a form of muscle memory, I ask is it also possible for them to exceed their specifications? Like if a New Frame was used up to or past the lifetime of the MCs without having to replace any, would there be any potential for them to be stronger/faster? Or is it more like new MCs need breaking in, they start out performing slightly sub-par and as they're used and the Muscle Memory takes hold they start working at par and in sync with the rest of the MCs?
-Speaking of Strength and Speed, which contributes more to those factors? The design of the Muscle Cylinder, the Muscle Cylinder Fluid or the strength of the Current Applied to them?
-I take it MCs are fairly similar to current day Hydraulics/Pneumatics as how they look and the basics of function aside them being fairly self contained aside from their connection to the power source?
Okay, I think that's all I got for now....
PS: Mods/Admins if you'd prefer this me merged with the thread I linked to above I'm cool with that, just figured that the other thread was fairly specific and mine is more in general overall.
