User blog:Ajax 013/MJOLNIR: You can contribute!

Hola fellow Halo Fanoners!

As some of you probably know, I took a serious blow to the head and decided to add several dozen new MJOLNIR variants from Halo Online. A pretty stupid idea in retrospect, but I've started so I'll finish.

Now I've got plenty of armour variants, with little to no description, and I'm turning to you, the community, to contribute.

What will you get? You'll be cited as a contributor to that MJOLNIR variant, and get a +1 Ajax Respect Point, a commodity rarer than gold.

What am I looking for? Well, it pays to be familiar with my current MJOLNIR variants.

Each variant is not written for a specific and narrow view, but rather written as a list of features. These include software, hardware, sensors, armour design and power supply, alongside other smaller features. This list of features give it an edge in a particular role, or roles. An example would be my Pathfinder, with unique cooling systems for the reactor, a long list of stealth features, and hardware to share data quickly. These features allow it to infiltrate enemy territory, then act as a beacon for allies to find their way.

So that's the sorta thing I'm looking for. And these are the variants I'm looking for more features on. Some already have small parts, small bits, small notes, but they need MOAR.

And here's the variants:


 * BUZZSAW


 * CAIN


 * DIABLO


 * ENIGMA
 * The Enigma is a specially tailored armour, designed for counter-electronic warfare. The armour is backed with new hardware and software, designed to protect Spartan units from electronic or cyber attacks. It is fitted with counter-intrusion protocols, and sophisticated firewalls. It can also encrypt data streams to prevent intrusion. It has a single long distance receiver/transmitter, that can perform wide area jamming, to prevent the enemy from committing an attack.


 * FLENSER (renaming this)
 * The FLENSER design is so new that final fabrication took place on Anvil Station itself, conveniently bypassing several testing protocols in the process. It remains to be seen how stable the suits new low-power muscle fiber system is, as the first prototype burned itself out after a single War Games match. Though its running endurance is top-class, concerns remain about the FLENSER's viability in the field.


 * GARGOYLE
 * Octocamo?


 * GHOUL


 * GLADIATOR
 * The Gladiator is a tough armour model, patterned for direct one on one conflict.


 * GUARDIAN
 * In the same armour family as Protector, Enforcer and Defender


 * GUNSLINGER
 * The GUNSLINGER design is unusual in that it is being built around the requirements  of UEG police forces, with a tweaked smart-link system to increase handgun accuracy. GUNSLINGER is testing the potential for Mjolnir technology in a broader market. (Lets rewrite this so it isn't insane)


 * HALBERD
 * Cloaked in secrecy, all users of the HALBERD-class armor must sign binding non-disclosure agreements about its performance and the particulars of its new weapon mag-lock arrangement. Emerson guards the HALBERD prototype suits with their own - heavily armed - private security.


 * HELLCAT


 * INQUISITOR
 * INQUISITOR-class armor does not utilize a fusion reactor, instead relying on an intact Forerunner Sentinel power cell. This allows for incredible flexibility in reallocating power to critical tactical packages. Custom-built Mjolnir frame with salvaged Forerunner power supply.


 * KNIGHT


 * MIRMILLON
 * Taking form defining function to an extreme, RKD's MIRMILLON-class armor optimizes combat flexibility by using best-in-class tactical package components that require less power to charge. Rumors persist among Anvil Station personnel of MIRMILLON units fitted with hardlight shields.


 * OMNI
 * A surprisingly effective composite of other Acheron Security designs, the OMNI is currently the company's cutting-edge Mjolnir suit, and one of the few able to effectively use Material Groups GEN2 prototype sensor suite. Petabytes of Mjolnir combat data have been carefully sifted and analzed by Acheron researchers to inform the OMNI's design. (Multi-purpose)


 * ORACLE
 * More an integrated experiment than a fully-realized Mjolnir variant, the ORACLE is testing a host of improvements in energy recuperation and power-distrubution subsystems for eventual inclusion in a standalone tactical package. ORACLE is a test platform for modular system upgrades planned for the final GEN2 suits. (Improved sensors and information processing)


 * PALADIN
 * This system includes a tactical computer that can process and curate vast amounts of battlefield data.


 * PANTHER


 * RAMPART
 * The RAMPART armor system is one of several armor system prototypes from Materials Group which are tailored for operation in built-up areas, such as urban areas and space habitats. The RAMPART is particularly well-suited for hunter-killer operations in cramped arcologies. High-threat combat actuation in urban environments is assumed to be the default battleground for Spartan-IV graduates.


 * RAZOR
 * upgraded stealth system for better infiltration capabilities and improved team communication suites for improved coordination.


 * REAPER
 * Considered an early work-in-progress by Hannibal's design team, the REAPER-class armor still requires substantial refactoring of its interface system and stabilization of the tactical pack power feeds. Even this early version has drawn considerable praise from the testers at Anvil Station.


 * RENEGADE
 * Obstentially a strategic reconnaissance variant, users have noticed the RENEGADE's sensor suite is calibrated specifically to track other Mjolnir suits; particularly those featuring emissions cloaking. ONI seems particularly interested in the testers' combat performance against other Spartans.


 * SAMURAI
 * Incorporates the latest generation of situational awareness tactical software and cognition-enhancing neural interlinks.


 * SCEPTRE (Lets rename this Spectre)
 * Though capable of efficiently utilizing the new modular tactical package system, Lethbridge has also modified several SCEPTRE suits to use the alternative plug-in upgrade system championed by Materials Group. The SCEPTRE belongs to a new family of Mjolnir-based armor systems.


 * SEEKER
 * enhanced target tracking


 * SPECTRUM
 * All business in design, the SPECTRUM-class Mjolnir armor is designed to get up close and personal with Covenant forces inside their starships and destroy them using high explosives and pinpoint gunfire. Cascade is aggressively marketing potential variants of the SPECTRUM design to police and paramilitary forces.


 * TREMOR
 * TREMOR-variant armor removes several layers of the Mjolnir's threat management and safety interlocks, allowing programmable grenades to be set to higher yields. Intended for defensive operations, Spartan training has instead tested the TREMOR's offensive utility. (Yeah, lets rework this ALOT)


 * VOID
 * Hardened against the perils of exoatmospheric operation and equipped with the latest threat assessment firmware, the VOID DANCER is Acheron's entry for the ODST's Generation After Next armor upgrade competition. Costly and tempermental, the VOID DANCER is a risky gambit for Acheron in the UNSC's post-2552 "procurement wars."


 * VORTEX


 * WASP


 * WIDOWMAKER
 * High-threat dynamic combat actuation is the WIDOW MAKER's raison d'tre. With hardwired response protocols and quick-release mag-clamps the operator can quickly assess the situation and use the most appropriate weapon at hand. Testers at Anvil Station have noted the Widow Maker seems best suited for operation in human built-up areas.
