And this is a silly thing to bring up but I assume it plugs into whatever the pilot is using to provide a more permanent supply of air?
Sean_ODuibher said:There are a few things, not necessarily wrong to not include, but are at the least worth consideration, that I see.
First, the article states that the suit has the components necessary for interfacing with Origin equipment, but does the suit have any communication abilities of its own? If so, of what sort and range are they?
Also, since this is a military flight suit, I think some emergency features might be useful. Related to the communications ability of the suit, perhaps an emergency beacon might be a useful addition. I'm not sure if the suit is intended for use in vehicles operating in an atmosphere, but if so, perhaps hard-points for attaching a parachute or counter-gravity unit might be useful, as would a small pack with emergency rations and other survival gear. I'm just thinking of the standard sort of equipment military aviators have on their harnesses in reality.
Finally, internal to the suit, are there any mechanisms for eating and drinking within the helmet? It could just be something as simple as a camelbak sort of tube for water, and indeed maybe another tube for energy gel or paste. Of course, these are not strictly necessary in a survival sense, but more useful in terms of providing for user comfort.
Anyways, just some thoughts.
When you make changes to a submission, you should list them for reviewers.FiveMarks said:Made some changes to the suit.
I changed the power source, and took off a great deal of armor.
And yes, i'm not an idiot. I'm not going to make the cockpit a vacuum.
