Ok, so I know that Battledress is designed as a vehicle. How does it *play?* I mean, do you simply treat people in battledress as normal armored characters, or do you need to use the vehicle combat rules?
Also, I know that BD has an effective AR of 15 versus personal weapons, but what happens when something penetrates? Does it go to the pilot or to the BD's SI? This is a fairly important question, and I'm really not sure what the answer is.
Finally, let's say I want to create Battledress at TL14 with a built in grav engine (like some of the models in GURPS: Traveller Ground Forces). How would I do that? I've yet to actually (ever) design a ship using T20 or HG rules, but it looks to me that I'd simply want to add a unit or two of Grav propulsion and I'd be set. Can someone with more experience in this help me out? Thanks!
