It's a nice idea, but we are too far along for it now.

True, but it's something he can introduce along the way for his Clan. Might be a nice way to cause some confusion among the Falcons' opponents.

Once we get going with the Invasion, not a problem, but not as part of the current work.

You know there is something wrong with the FWL, when Word's spell check changes Impavido to Impetigo and Zechetinu to Secretion.

I figured that would be the case. Thanks for the consideration though.

Don't abandon the concept Dread. It's an easy introduction post-invasion, so working on it now will certainly save lots of dev time later.

I think it will be a good way to see the Falcons trying to adapt to the IS and an idea that the other Clans start using as well.  I am going to revisit the OmniTech bit soon, so I'll update you on that.

What is becoming apparent is that O-Series will largely be non-energy based, with the O2 and OM able to deal with all the heat through better cooling systems.

Maybe. The O-series could absolutely be energy based, if you had a base design that had a fair amount of heatsinks. Say, an Awesome for example. But most of the 3025 designs weren't exactly known for their frigid temperatures.

Not trying to be difficult but why?  Any reason behind the non-energy bias?

Really, as long as there is an unbroken line of people calling themselves "Clan Nova Cat," it doesn't really matter to me if they're still using Iron Wombs or not. They may be dead as a faction, but as a people they still exist. It's not uncommon in the real world, after all.

Well, O-series can't add (via pods) heat sinks. So, most of the original (non-Royal) versions will be sitting with 10 heat sinks (singles, in the case of most of the non-Royals). Whether or not they upgrade the singles to doubles at the time of Omnification is another debate. So, I can see Nova's point.
