Let me get this straight.

First a few people in New Eden, particularly those playing Dust, were complaining about female dropsuits looking too sexy.

Now* someone here in New Eden, particularly on playing Eve Online, is complaining about female dropsuits... I mean SoE armor not showing enough boobage?

I'm done.

* - fixed a shameful typo

Actually most of us posting are of the opinion it's showing too much boobage.
Armour should look like it would actually work. If you want sexy, there are plenty of other outfits for sexy in the wardrobe already.

I'd say it's a job well done. It actually looks like armor in both versions. I'd probably add a skirt of sorts or tassets to add protection to the crotch/upper thighs area, as that looks a bit squishy. But for the most part, it does look like it could work as protective gear. Not that you'd get a lot of use out of it sitting in a capsule.

(bear in mind boob plate armour is a _really_ bad idea. and leads to things hitting you at weak points. flat plates are better)

I'm not very well versed in personal body armor or anything, but I don't think the style matters much when your ship goes boom...

It's kind of like camouflage on ships in space - people may like/dislike a certain style, but functionally it's pretty pointless. I can't remember the last time I was trying to hide my Navy Dominix in a forest, or the last time my body armor protected me from the explosion of said Dominix I was inhabiting...

I apologize for the unscheduled injection of logic to the thread...

Tip: Capsuleers are naked in their pods. That's not depicted because PG-13, but that's about it. Somehow the pod is to remove whatever comes out of your body orifices while you're inside the pod, don't it? I'd rather be Captain Commando than Captain Poopypants... P

Armor is to be worn outside of the pod. For capsuleers who are mortal outside of their pods, it would make as much sense as the attack->defense ratio made sense in New Eden (that is, assuming that armor was effective against the potential threats to a capsuleer's life).

The people protesting against 'boobplate' seem to be missing a few things:

1) The 'armor' isn't meant to protect against swords, knives or what have you. Depending on the type of weapon used, deflection angles are quite ineffective on personal armor when talking about firearms, especially moothafookin railguns and lasers. The material used and thickness are far more important.

2) The male armor has manboobplates. WTF. I demand equality!

3) There is no reason whatsoever to talk about realism in a game where there's 5km tall spaceships shooting volkswagen beetle ammo at other ships and where there's more damsels in distress than a star wars cosplay convention.

4) Aesthetics are by far the most important aspect of an item which is sold solely by its aesthetic value.


So, yeah, gief boobplate.

If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all...

There is no way in which a woman, any woman, can shape/could shape a piece of armor, of any matherial. Neither metal armor, nor leather armor, nor cloth armor. It's armor plates. They aren't meant to be flexible. Also ringmail is so heavy that will flatten/crush any woman's bosom.

I am not a woman, but I have worn a proper hauberk. Mail armour does not "flatten/crush" women's breasts. It's actually easier to find images of man boobs in mail armour, because more fat men than busty women are into historical reenactment, but one can definitely discern a rack under the rings. And plate armour worn in combat isn't so thick that it couldn't be shaped for breasts. It just isn't, because it isn't shaped for enhancing looks. Also the known historical designs simply were made for men, because they were doing the fighting near exclusively. However, plate armour isn't usually flat and angular, but rounded. Providing more space in the breast area certainly wouldn't have been a technical problem for the blacksmiths... however, it would have been some kind of "convex hull", not individually sculpted breasts. Unless the medieval smith was intentionally going for the looks. People were people back then, too, I'm sure some had the equivalent of a modern "uniform fetish"...

Ugh it's worse than I thought. It's not even pyramid boob, it's just straight up double mastectomy plate.

If that's what you're going for it's not all bad.

Yes, let's champion technical realism in a game where we travel faster than light to go to the store.

Alright seriously, what the hell were you guys thinking? I was looking forward to getting this armor so I could wear it while I fly around in my awesome SoE ships. And then I noticed that the chest is a pyramid. Have you guys ever seen a girl before? Because we aren't built like that!


Girls? Not. Armor plates? You bet it. At least this SoE armor looks like it's actual armor built to protect the wearer, and not this.


Heh, my other favorite game. In B&S armor is purely cosmetic. Instead martial artists have what amounts to a force shield that they upgrade which serves the function of armor. So it is like playing Caldari martial arts.

Yes, the Naflgar fires Volkswagen Beetles loaded with explosives.

Four. At. A. Time.

Each. Turret.

A Minmatar warship is like a rusting Beetle with 500 horsepower Cardillac engines in the rear, armour plating bolted to chassis and a M2 Browning stuck on top.
