I don't know the combat system for Rogue Trader that well yet... and while I admit being really strong doesn't help with shooting (except in carrying heavier weapons, which DOES help, unless there aren't, say, heavy man portable weapons available...?) wouldn't the high AP value of a suit of power armor be of more than marginal benefit in a firefight?  If you can take a hit without getting injured and keep shooting back, that's an advantage, in my book.<br/><br/>And yeah... being prepared for an anticipated fight is exactly the sort of situation you'd have power armor for.<br/><br/>Besides... this is Warhammer 40K.  Not having anyone walking around in a man portable tank seems off for some reason... or is that just me?
