Rocky's ideas had quite a surprise for Orton and the rest.
Firstly, they had not expected Rocky to have such a unique perspective on Armor design. His insights might not be considered profound, but they were indeed completely different from the usual train of thought.
Secondly, everything Rocky said was very inspiring to Orton and the others. For instance, he believed that the current approach to Land Combat Armor design was too conservative, or rather, too rigid. On reflection, it seemed he might be onto something.
The Land Combat Armor was, after all, designed for ground combat. If its sole purpose was land warfare, then the design philosophy should, and could, be different from that of regular Void Magic Armor. Yet, all models of Land Combat Armor had failed to achieve this distinction.
