I've been running a Starfinder campaign for some of my friends and they are VERY interested in using power armor. However, looking at the available sets of it in the core book, It looks more like its a system for a bunch of different types rather than models that can be used for a linear advancement.
So, after talking with them a little, I decided to sit down and look around the forums some. I saw a few people toss around the idea of making leveled versions of the Battle Harness and decided to give it a whirl.
I tried to keep it in line with the Heavy Armor, increasing the AC, Max Dex, and Mod Slots in line with it. There are less mod slots than with Heavy Armor to make up for the Str Score. I wasn't sure how to scale the base unarmed value for the armor, but I still have it a go. I also wasn't sure what kind of prices to set for the higher levels of the armor yet.

I'm interested in any feedback any of you have, and if you guys think I did an alright job with this... Do you want me to look into trying to do a similar thing with the other Power Armor frames?
