Power Armor Re(balance)
Hello, did you too always wonder why the pinnacle of pre-war power armor development was worse than a buffed up t45? (Yes I am looking at you T60)
Or did you wonder how Enclave power armor was so prominent in the Commonwealth, without any Explanation?
(This is actually not balanced. I prefer Realism and Immersion over Balancing.)
Well wonder no more. This mod changes the Durabillity, ballistic, energy and rad resistance Ratings of all power armors. It also modifier Lvl lists to let Enclave armor only appear in one Special place.
Power armor Frames also got a massive buff. They give 150 damage resistance, a massive strength Bonus and increased carrying capacity.
Raider power armor, does still offer the lowest protection, but much more than before, has the lowest Radiation resistance. I doubled it´s durabillity, to make it at least slightly useful.
T45 Does now deserve the Name power armor, buffed all around except for Rad resistance. Can´t imagine that the first power armor was airtight.
T60 got a buff to, it´s now a beeffed up T45
T51 Now we are talking, T51 is much more powerful, and the best armor you can find, appart from one Little suit 😉
X0-1 Mystic armor that makes the wearer nigh invincible. Though nobody knows where it is.
WARNING: If you install this mod during your playthrough, remove all the power armor Upgrades from your power armor (before you install) . Else the math gets mad, and nerfs your armor pieces permanently (at least all them that have Upgrades on them).
Do not be inside power armor when installing this mod, Exit power armor, save and then install this mod. The changes to the Frame would mess with your characters stats, and nerf them considerably.
!!!! A Question to You who reads this, If I would Change the barter Prices for power armor, how expensive should which one be? Fire away in the comments !!!!

Feedback would be much appretiated. Currently working on a weapon rebalance mod that makes automatic recievers acutally worth a damm.
ps. English is not my native language so I hope this discription makes sense.
Best Used with my Weapon damage overhaul, which buffes all weapons, especially automatic and explosive ones.
