Using Parawings?

Whats everyone's opinion on the parawing from the AD equipment list?<br /><br />who can use it? Technicians under operate equipment subskill or open for everyone to use (its essentially just a parachute)? Would you say that any character able to operate arial vehicles by default can operate a parawing and just charge a nominal EXP charge to characters with a military background to take the ORbital Combat-drop Seminar [ORCS]?<br /><br />What can you do while operating a parawing? fire a weapon? chew gum only?<br /><br />would militaries use a parawing to combat drop from atmospheric cabable space craft and or air vehicles?<br />Would militaries really want to have the non refoldable function of the parawing so that they end up being left around sticking out like a sore thumb waiting to draw the enemy's attention? Or would there be a military issue parawing that can be broken down and reused but cost more than a std. parawing and with the capability to punch a button and blow the wing free within seconds of landing? <br /><br />Any other thoughts?<br /><br />It also occurs to me that a orbital sky diving/ drop suit might be in order sort of a combination skien suit and space suit but with very very limited Life support (only enought to see you through a orbital sky dive) it may be possible to use the orbital dive suit as an emergency space suit even jacking in a std. LS pack/ canister but you could not dive with that LS pack attached nor could you wear space suit armor with it. it would have price limitations on it as well. <br /><br /><br />
