Summary
Mkay!
This looks like an overall good submission, not many things really problematic with it. You DO need a Nomenclature for it though!
On top of that, I'm not entirely sure how Lorath technology and the like is handled - That's up to other NTSE mods and/or Wes in case it's a confliction but for now I'm gonna let it pass (Though if you can find a possible alternative, you might wanna think about it in case the Stone Thread needs to be replace with something else).
Status: Pending
Notes
For the topic sentence right under the title, can you split that into two sentences please? Just replace the comma with a period and fix capitalization from there and it'll be fine ^^
Can you make a link to the real life wikipedia for Velcro at least once? It's just a neat little thing that helps connect stuff together if that makes sense.
For the Appearance section, can you put a small paragraph or maybe just a sentence for the Elysian variant?
For Attachments, I have five things to say:
-Please make the attachments into subheaders below the actual "Attachments" header. It helps break the page up a bit for explaining the attachments ^~^
-A lot of the attachments have sentences in parentheses which seem to just be a simplified repeat of the rest of the section.
-Do the attachment points attach parts to the OUTSIDE or the INSIDE of the vest?
-Some of the descriptions seem a bit short, in my opinion; can you try to make as many of them as you can be longer? Over a full line or so on a computer's screen should probably be enough, due to how simple a lot of these are. (Making links to other things, like the NSP for the pistol holster, can get you some easy text onto the page.)
-Perhaps to help players understand the system a bit more easily, you could move one of the artworks you have to the top of that section? Preferably the empty, normal variation - this lets players see the empty grids they can equip stuff to right away, and THEN the attachments they can put on that grid.
Finally, just do another pass for grammar and spelling, please; I noticed a handful of errors in the page, but none of them were really major things that caused any issues.
I intend to finish this review by: FRIDAY, JUNE 15, 2018 (If not sooner)
