Recon Marine armor set questions

[Rizzly]

Do you need Science 4 to upgrade this armor? ultra-light for example, and the DR/ER upgrades?

Or just Science 4 required to turn it into Zaelot/Inquisitor/Assault ?

Science 4 is such a lame requirement

Some screenshots would be cool...Atm not enough caps to buy it

Everything requires science 4 and armourer 4, except the zealot mod, which is the worst one you can get. You need these requirements just to upgrade the armour to that type

Inquisitor and arine are the same apart from two areas;
1, differant skins
and 2; the inquisitor body has 1 more energy resist than the marine, the marine body has 1 more ballistic than the inquisitor. that's it.

TLDR;
You don't need science 4, but if you don't get science 4 you will be stuck on the crappy zealot armour.
You can get marine spec armour from dima's 5th memory, but they are scattered over the island.
Murdering Richter and other atom soldiers will give you incomplete zealot and inquisitor armours.

Note;
Most of the merchants sell legandary varients of the arms as well as the helmet and body. I recommend making tons of jet and buying those.
Even with maxed charisma, bobble head and every other barter skill or perk the legendary items will still cost 10K plus (or 15K for the chest)
