Canon Clan BA?

[Moonsword]

I do not ever recall seeing this mentioned again perhaps it was a "throw away line" or it has been forgotten / over looked. I certainly would like to see these Battle Armor units even if they are just over specialized Elemental suits, and again I would love to see the early Clan Goliath Scorpion under water industrial exoskeleton suits that were developed into the elemental suit design.

It's revisited in Golden Century but again without any particular details.  The implications are that they're basically specialists to the Elemental's generalist design, perhaps not as advanced.

OH Thanks I'll did my copy of that out off my HD & have another closer read, I missed that first time read.

I had thought that they were likely slightly modified Nighthawks, but no, there's no canonical stats (or names, or even descriptions) yet.

I'm... not entirely sure I'd go down that path.  They're apparently derived from the Scorpion exoskeletons.  I suspect those exoskeletons may be derived in turn from some of the advances in the Nighthawk program, but the degree of separation imposed by differing roles/environments and no need for stealth may be part of what pushed the early armors toward the path that wound up with a larger, more generalist suit design.

Don't know where I read it from,,,but wasn't most early suits that was derived from the GS deepwater Exo-siut just specialized BA,,,,until the Wolfs made the standard suit?   ???
Now that's there special BA for Eley's,,isn't it just remakes from past designs that was put-a'side in the early days?   ;D

The Wolves made the first battle armor based on those deep water exoskeletons, and then the concept proliferated until all the Clans basically settled on the generalist Elemental suit.  After that, Clan battle armor development basically stagnated until the Invasion and you start seeing things like the Star Adders pushing the curve a bit with the Corona program and the Scorpions had evidently been tinkering with the underlying concepts for the Undine for some time.
