I have a question about the experimental armor mechanics lvl 5 "Power Boost" ability.
You gain proficiency in powered armor. You can alter your experimental armor prototype to be identical to any suit of powered armor that has an item level equal to or lower than your existing armor prototype by spending 8 hours of work making upgrades.
Can i use this during a scenario to spend 8 hours (such as during space travel) to change my armor into another powered armor? The point of contention seems to be whether this would count as crafting/downtime, and thus be restricted to only one item between scenarios.
I quickly looked through the downtime section of the guide to organized play, and could only find the rules on crafting that could be relevant. And looked at the character options page for organized play and did not see special mention of experimental armor mechanics.

On a related note, an armor mechanic can use 8 hours to designate a purchased armor as their prototype, and then use power boost to change it to a powered armor of the same level. Can these be used during a single period of downtime, and does this allow a mechanic with an armor on their chronicle sheet of a higher level to acquire any powered armor of that same level.
In other words, if my mechanic is level 6 with 15 xp, and has a level 8 kasatha microcord III on their chronicle sheet. Could they buy that armor, designate it as their prototype, rebuild it into a level 8 kashcomm scout, all before playing their next scenario.
