To build off the original idea, instead of just a suit, maybe we could have this

One full loadout to look beat up
Whichever suit you prefer-Prototype and beat up
Side weapon=pistol idea
Main weapon=assualt/sniper/etc of your choice, prototype level, beat up
some custom additions, like special grenades or custom droplinks that cut the drop time down by half
maybe a biotic/mechanic booster that only we get

^all of this would not give us much of an advantage, but people would def. know when they were playing with a tester.

^to use all the gear, as it is prototype, you cannot just select and use. you have to be leveled up enough to use it all. So to get to the point where we can use the gear, we need the skills to get there.
Thus, you can only use the suit over a period of a time, and only the true players really will get to use it.

Any thoughts?
