Desert Star's Power Armor is very advanced in comparison to most North American units. It is for this very reason that Ace Ripley does not permit many of the suit types to be marketed. I will list a price for all of them because all of these suit types may be available to allied nations at different times. A Note About The SAMAS Picture: Although S-Mart does not produce the CS's version of the SAMAS, they do however, create two types of SAMAS units. They manufacture both the USA type as described in the Spirit West Book, and a new type which is S-Mart's answer to the Wild Weasel SAMAS of Bandito Arms, affectionately called the "Beerbelly" SAMAS. I will provide details on this new SAMAS as soon as they come off of the drawing board.
S-Mart President Ace Ripley, has just unleashed a new series of power armor units, via statement, designed to reduce the risks of many civilian fields, as well as increase work performance completed by properly trained and indoctrined construction/industrial workers. All these new suits are to be made available, to anyone willing to purchase such specialized suits. These models will be displayed as they are loaded onto the showroom floor, complete with statistics, capabilities, and the all important costs.
S-Mart also allows one feature not available from any of the other big corporations in North America, it allows the custom orders for Power Armor units as well! However keep in mind, that Desert Star has no intentions of releasing extremely powerful units into the world, and reserves the right to refuse orders if deemed to be too powerful or difficult to construct. (ie GMs preference.)
