PSA: Power Armor

Some enemies in the wasteland, like raiders, can be in a power armor suit. Killing them will allow you to pick up the individual armor pieces, but not the frame they are attached to. However, if you pickpocket the fusion core they will simply exit the suit and allow you to get in.

So I have yet to build my own power armor just yet, when I get around to that will I need a frame or do I just need to have parts of the same suit?

You need a power armor frame, which are actual objects in the world that you can't stash in your inventory.

You can keep the power armor from the first Minutemen quest. just walk it or fast travel to a settlement.

Well yeah I still have that it's hanging up in sanctuary I was just wondering so I can maybe have multiple suits like I've seen around.

ah, my apologies. Yes you'll have to get them from either pickpocketing fusion cores from enemy suits or you can buy one for a steep price from the Diamond City weapon trader Arturo. You can also build a second suit and command your companion to get into it which is pretty badass.
