I like it, have you seen something like a juggernaught suit? There is a large heavy pad that goes around the back of the head. Maybe something like that but with metal

hhm, sounds good, i'm also exploring a cage for the upper optics, and/or no 'head' and instead an optical camera dome

hmm try making the head a bit slimmer and adding 2-3 forward cameras. maybe one on the back

could work, the pilot has about 270 degree interface , but w=there are additional camera veiw points

Well if the suit is like any modern military vehicle you may want to put an infared camera somewhere. and maybe a shoulder mounted smoke screen

i've clustered the primary feeds on the 'head', this includes most of the various light based sensors, but it does make sense to include additional ones, i have a gun camera, and wrist camera's , might add a few others elsewhere, the visual data goes into a processor which identifies key information and stores it, crating a virtual map of the area onto which tactical data can be projected, the pilots feild of vision roams across a larger screen, the display tracks the pilots feild of vision, displaying real time sensor input, the display outside the field of vision displays the stored data

very nice what about a built in light on the side of the helmet. may seem more menacing, red flashlight aimed at you.

that does sound cool, i have a unit named the ghast, its a psychological warfare unit, standing at over 30 ft, its designed to be as effective as any other unit, but its primary purpose is to terrify the conscript mobs used by the religious consortium's imperial miltary arm, most of them are conscripted for crowded slums and sent to the wide open wasteland battle grounds, it doesn't take much to push them over the edge, and the ghast does just that
