If the davs can make a system of armor and parts that is like a cross between Armored Core and Zoids I'll be happy. Because it means I can just mix and match armor parts to get the best effect that I want to fit how I like to play. And if you also add in the idea from FireFall of different companies and corporations specializing in making different style and types of gear, we can have a really gear system that give players freedom of choice.
For example. One company is known for making really thin but strong, light mass armor that is all about speed and freedom of movement. Before the move to Em-8er they mainly sold things for designed for racing, so they are also strong enough to keep the pilot safe in case of things like high speed crashes and the like. There can be a company called something like Orbital Dynamics that specializes in making really powerful rockets and thrusters designed for going into and out of gravity wells as well as for heavy mass movement such as asteroid farming where they have to push massive objects into things like lagrange points. A company of space miners and construction engineers can specialize in making large have powerful heavy industrial machines, they may not look pretty but they get the job done.
This why, if the davs want to add in new types of armor, frames, and the like they can just say that company(s) are making new models. There can also be things like knock-off cheaper models of stuff made by different smaller companies or start ups. And there can be joint projects between two or more companies. Like what would happen if the company that specializes in making small light mass things designed for racing teamed up with the company that is specializes in making industrial machines?

There is so many possibilities with the organization or a small underground agencies of engineers etc.
Lets say you could start of with the scraps and as we start of a small fry we can explore the regions where bigger organizations wouldn't think of heading.
E.g. Like in some cyberpunk films there are hidden places with illegal hacking and modifications
so perhaps there is something similar with meks and vehicles.
Then as you get better stuff you can go between the route of actual organization such as Mirage Corp they could specialize in optics, tracking systems and various scopes then you could go to the underground and find things that could compliment it but there can be a risk of incompatibility.
So you could learn how to develop your skill to link/sync different technologies or manipulate an area of it by researching to then craft the actual tool or segment and to talk to npc's etc.
Btw i like crafting so hope that could lead to various areas of crafting because can imagine there will be alot of different things such as buildings, vehicles, weapons, armor, pets to craft and crafting just feels good to contribute and make those things go to good use than having a pile of stuff just in the inventory!
