How do you deal with multiple power armor?

[Mokona]

I'm trying to collect every power armor type and keep them up to date on legendaries but when I go to get them out they only say "power armor chassis" so I dont know which one is what armor.

You can name the power armor chassis. I usually call mine for example "**T-65 L50 PA Chassis". Just pull up your pip boy, Click on "X" Repair/Inspect. Then, "V" and name it, and hit "Enter". Name it whatever you want. I put the two asterisks so its put above any other armor that only has one. Its alphabetical so, have fun naming stuff, but there is a limit of about 30 items you can name.

How do you have storage space for that?

A power armor chassis only has a weight of 10, regardless of the armor plates on it. So they don't really take up all that much space. Also, paying for Fallout 1st gives you a scrap box with unlimited storage, which is likely what most of the space in your stash is being used for. At least it was in my case. You also get an ammo cabinet with unlimited storage.

Personally, I don't bother keeping more than 2 suits - one combat, one excavator. Its actually less weight keeping a whole second suit for the excavator parts that it is just carrying the 2 excavator arms to switch out when mining.

Renaming it is a must. I do a slightly different naming convention though. I use PA-Type. So all PA sorts together.

I think Traveler was thinking along the same lines as I was, "How does your camp have space to display that?"

The CAMP budget doesn't permit much in the way of displays so your collection is either getting dusty in a box or out getting rusty in the rain..

That's a good question, because I have seen camps with at least six PAs on display.

6 PA is the max displays you can have.

I wasn't, but then I don't care about how my CAMP looks in the first place.

The OP didn't say that he was displaying them. Just collecting them. If they were being displayed, you could visually determine what parts the chassis had, and wouldn't need to name them. And he has to "go to get them out", so they aren't out on display.
