Capping them at size eight was an unnecessary limitation that I promptly did away with.

I was joking about that - but I was serious about dropping the subject.

Sadly, topic drift (often steered awry by what seem to be drunken Droyne) is the norm here.

You want us to stear away from how to fix your design?
A person will not fit in 40 slots of storage (the rules state storage is 2kg so you have 80kg max), but will fit in a 32 slot medical chamber, regardless of how massive the person is. So you save 8 slots.
Personally I would just rule that as it is worn rather than seated the person takes up 32 slots regardless.

I refer you to the title of this thread, mate.

That rule you mention is trying to use a mass measurement for volume. An average person is about 70 cubic liters. A "massive person" might be 100.
Regardless, the volume-based rule tells us how to fit a sophont (double the slots for the size of robot frame).

Honestly, I was mostly wondering whether there was a 'Battle Dress' chassis type (similar to the 'cybernetic limb' chassis) on the worksheet that I was missing.
The Robots book does not have 'Life Support', so building space-suits, armor, and Battle Dress did not seem to have a direct link. 'Slots' for BD is not explicitly stated as being equivalent to Robot 'Slots' -- and Robot 'Slots' are a mess, but this is not the place for that discussion. I tried to convince Geir to tidy up (volume, power, damage) scaling in the upcoming Vehicles book, utterly in vain -- that thread was the appropriate place; I lost out, & have moved on.
I think there is a workable kludge, putting the pilot in a 'Medical Chamber' or 'Storage Space'. It seems like it will be impossible to replicate the existing examples of BD from CSC with the design rules -- but that is, honestly, absolutely routine fare for Mongoose Quality Control.
