Power Armor?

I'm not sure what question you're asking. What "this" do you want to work on power armor you find in the wasteland?
 
Well, I wanted to know if there are any plans to have it work on Power Armor. Specifically, have someone come over and transport the frame back to a settlement.

oh, I'm pretty sure that you can transport pieces via salvage beacons but I don't think you can do frames.
 
you can't but i can see it being done if you could somehow allow the beacon to occupy the Fusion Core slot and then have it be moved to a fixed position in regard to the Workshop bench (with sanity check so if there is a frame still standing at a settlement spawn you cannot have it moved there)
 
I would love this option and I even have an idea for how to handle the placement of the frame once it arrives at your settlement. Add a power armor station to the side of the desk. Then when the script says its time for the power armor to be delivered it can spawn in the power armor station. I don't see why you can't have the power armor pieces just stay on the frame. Kinggath might be forced to have the pieces spawn randomly at the player's current level just like they do in game. So what you have arrive at the settlement may not be exactly the same as what you saw out in the wild. The only time I could see that being an issue is the special edition power armors like the Vim painted ones in FH or the Nuka painted ones in NW. But I'm sure Kinggath could work some scripting wizardry to handle those as special cases.
 
Alternatively, just spawn it as the same find of frame you 'buy' in your workbench; I confess, that would actually be my preference, because then I would be able to 'store' unused frames in the workbench/logistics locker.

I like the concept of adding a kind of 'modded' fusion core that would (In game) lock up the frame until someone with the right 'key' came to pick it up. If you could script it to take ownership of of a frame so people could come pick up a frame after you kill raider bosses, so much the better.

Oh - make it like a salvage beacon, but you need armor 2 and local leader 1, and you can use it as a a salvage beacon or to retrieve armor (Whereas a salvage beacon is 'only' a beacon).
