> With what I know of the Arc, I'd say going in in hard armour and
openly armed would be almost as dumb. Besides, if they are over
confident in thier toys, why not have them try it.

Because they're not stupid. :) As far as going in armed and armoured -
well, it's the only real option. If you had a chance to sneak through
the place, dressing down would be good. But that just ain't gonna work
in the arc. I don't think you could fast talk Blues or drones into
leaving you alone.

You really think they'd go in in solid armour, huh? What then? You said
light or medium security before. Would they go for fully-enclosed
helmets in order to take full advantage of ruthenium cover? Or would
they prefer to be able to use their senses without restriction? Or is
that a personal preference kind of thing?

I know a lot of this is hypothetical, but your best guess has got to be
better than mine. :)

combat assignment?

Well, RA:S seems to agree with you (if probably not for the right
reasons). :)

Wellll...the standard pattern would probably be more intimidating (as
it's usually more visible), but I think they'd realise that this really
is a dangerous place, so the more edges they can provide, the better.
Subdued urban then.
