nebulous

however when located inside of the city, what exactly are they powering, obviously only civil protection are using them and they are used for armor, what is being powered inside of their suit, is it just their electronics

and by extension what /exactly/ is the energy charging when you use it? high impact reactive armor? (hl1) that could explain why vortigaunts are capable of offering a 15% charge when you're completely drained

but civil protection suits use batteries on the server, is this a generally accepted 'oops' or do people genuinely RP that the battery, somehow, repairs their armor?

would that mean that, if the battery repairs their armor, and most rebel armor visually utilizes the civil protection armor, that a vortigaunt could give a 15% charge to someone?

i mean, what's to say civil protection armor isnt to some degree reactive? HECU wore the PCV and that was made for combat and looked nothing like the HEV suit

it slipped over your torso and generally looked like some typical kevlar but utilized its own charging stations and CONVENIENTLY connected to the HEV stations inside of black mesa

so could the combine have possibly refined that technology to some degree? we see OTA walking around inside of the citadel core like it's nothing so they evidently have some sort of protection that only something like the HEV could grant

i thought this was pride month not autism awareness

the armor they wear is clearly a glorified football vest, they won't have batteries for the armor, but rather the rest of their equipment, you have to consider the fact that the HECU were a specialised group of operatives too, whilst civil protection are a widely spread paramilitary policing force

giving powered reactive armor to that many people would be a logistical nightmare, and god forbid it goes missing, i don't think even OTA would get that

Willard Carroll Smith Jr. (born September 25, 1968) is an American actor, rapper, and film producer. Smith has been nominated for five Golden Globe Awards and two Academy Awards, and has won four Grammy Awards.

During the late 1980s, he achieved modest fame as a rapper under the name The Fresh Prince. In 1990, his popularity increased dramatically when he began starring in the NBC television series The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, which ran for six seasons until 1996. After the series ended, Smith transitioned from television to film and went on to star in numerous blockbuster films.

He is the only actor to have starred in eight consecutive films which grossed over $100 million in the United States box office, eleven consecutive films which grossed over $150 million internationally, and eight consecutive films which opened at the number one spot in the US box office tally.

Smith has been ranked as the most bankable star worldwide by Forbes. In April 2007, Newsweek called him "the most powerful actor in Hollywood". As of 2014, 17 of the 21 films in which he has had leading roles have accumulated worldwide gross earnings of over $100 million each, with five taking in over $500 million each in global box office receipts.

As of 2016, his films have grossed $7.5 billion at the global box office.[6] For his performances as boxer Muhammad Ali in Ali (2001) and stockbroker Chris Gardner in The Pursuit of Happyness (2006), Smith received Academy Award nominations for Best Actor.

i think civil protection armor is not actually kevlar as we view it today but rather reverse engineered tech from both the HEV and PCV but not to the full degree of both of them, because they lack normal human thinking

In this case batteries make sense, it would stiffen the fibers inside of the kevlar through the electrically charged shield
