Here is an interesting challenge

[Drakenred®™©]

Design and post Host armor with the ABSOLUTE MINIMUM posible Bio-E (along with minimal MDC and stats per level) and design it over at least 5 levels you can use any OOC that grants host armor)

(Belive it or not "mule' did exactly that in our game. We are wondering what got into him)

For my creation,

Lithovore armor
Inate(20) + PE(14) + ME(3) + 30 = 67 Bio E at level 1

20 Chamelion skin
05 Bio com
05 Advanced +
05 enchanced +
05 Night Vision
10 Dual casting throwers
03 Glowcell Upgraded to (+)
10 super Light cell

63 points, 4 left over

Level 2, total BioE becomes 14

Replace one casting thrower with one castin launcer, (10 points)

Level 3, 14 points, decides to get a second super light cell (13 points)

level 4 Saves his bio E(11) till the next level

level 5 upgrades the Casting launcher to a Casting Rifle (20 of 21 points)

Level 6-9 dedicated to upgrading his casting Rifle to a Casting Cannon

Level 10 upgrades the casting cannon to Ultra (more to improve the payload)

level 11-15 Mega upgrade the casting cannon

Good. But is your total starting points right?
10 + 14 + 3 + 30 = 57 Bio-E Points

and Hands Armored Skin is only 10 per pair of hands.

What would you sent the extra 20 points on?

I used your starting info. Just lazy.

Thermosynthetic Host Armor
Auto start with: Advanced Eyes, Advanced Sensors, BioComm, Basic Regeneration, Enhanced Sight

Start with 57 points.

05 Reinforced Exoskeleton
10 Enchanced Regeneration
03 Resistance to Cold
06 2x Glow Cells (Forehead)
11 Upgrade 1 Glow Cell to Super Light Cell
10 2x Organic Rockets
45 points; 12 remaining

Level 2 22 points available
01 Cosmetic Alteration Patch that says "Will Battle for Bio-Enchancements"
05 Reinforced Knuckles
04 Small Claws (non retractable) Both Hands
05 Organic Rocket
03 Glow Cell (forehead)
02 upgrade 2 Glow Cells to Simple Light Cells
20 points; 2 remaining

Levels 3-4 22 points available
20 Upgrade 2 Glow Cells to Super Light Cells
20 points; 2 remaining

Level 5 12 points available
10 Short Range Spore Discharger on Left Shoulder
10 points; 2 remaining

Levels 6-8 32 points available
13 Add and Upgrade a Glow Cell to Super Light Cell (forehead)
05 Reinforced Body Area - Head
10 Spine & Blades (Right Arm)
28 points; 4 remaining

That's as far as I gotten.
Planned to add: Resistance to Phy attacks, upto 4 Trench Foot Mines, and some more Organic Rockets.

Character has a weak Host Armor, so most of fire power will be hand weapons. Should have skill of Trap Construction and would use enchancements to provide MDC level trap parts (Spines and Trench Foot Mines). Most of Armor's firepower is Super Light Cells. Other enchancements add to close combat damage.

So what did I do wrong. Or what could I have done better.
