Mecha suit, XEC, Armored Cars, Tanks, Hovertanks, it all fits your bill.
Its also a design policy, its more flexible to not have weapons that are integrated etc.
At best you can sprite such armor and maybe it will be added.
In the past I was also in simillar stage, posting that it would be cool to see cyborgs in Piratez. Time passed and when I started to sprite I saw how much of a pain in the ass it is to make them, but I did. If mod creator will ever decide to add them, I will be happy and my "wish" will be granted.
I think its the right stance, not only propose/demand something, but also contribute something yourself. Even if what you create won't be used here, it migth be used somewhere else.
