Flying Suit as equipment (not armor)

[TopCat]

I know this is rather for modding but engine have to support it somehow...

Flying Suit should be equipment  carried by soldier in backpack and not another armor type.
It should fill entire backpack and modify look of armor in normal isometric game (that Power Suit look like old Flying Suit).

This should work as armor extension and player will trade off flaying capability vs backpack storage  for other equipment.
It should be available for all type of armors (even for plain soldiers)   

The new equipment could extend armor stat to equal old FS but instead of it game could introduce additional armor extension carried in backpack which extend armor stat itself ...

This sort of makes sense. Clownagent made his Gravarmors mod around this idea, but had to make two sets of each armour: one normal (none, personal armour, power suit) and one flying (grav harness, jump armour, flying suit, or something like that).

I guess it'd require something like fixedWeapon, but applicable to the backpack - an item you can't remove in battle.
