Very interesting. I really only use fusion for big things like warships in my story(s) but it does sound like an awesome game. Does this thing have mechs?
Not really, unless the PD so desires, but we have something close in the canon game called the HAMM Suit. Can't remember what HAMM stands for, they are not seen too much, but basically they are armor that is power assisted so the team member can lift heavy items and/or carry heavier weapons. The best I can come up with is lead minatures to illustrate the HAMM Suit.
These came put in 1982, to see all of them, go to
