EVE General Discussion

This is true only if you're talking about melee, especially sword, combat. For protection against projectiles, which is what you would be worried about in the Eve universe, flat plates are about the worst design you could use.

Essentially whole armor is just heavier version of regular Valkyrie combat suit. Similarities are easy to notice specially around neck area.

But I agree on chest area of the armor. Not saying that it needs boob plates but current version really does look a bit tight.

Here's example: Picture
And with some scientific research to back it up: Picture

You know, CCP, i'd also be pretty happy with getting that drifter outfit.

I think the armour is OK, so does my, non Eve playing, wife.

I'm very disappointed however, with the lack of concern shown about the Velociraptor issue

Considering it's all theoretical armor and space fantasy with some hard science fiction thrown in, it could be armored body paint or the armor *is* the capsule (yes, I know that's not the capsule image we see in space, it's just pointing out what the game mechanic 'could' be shown as). It's all a creation of the art department.

Trying to tie past armor designs into distant future designs is an exercise in futility. If I were to read the 'tea leaves' as to what the future would hold, body armors would likely be environmentally secure, close fit, exo-skeletal suits with many layers of defense and the difference between a male or female suit would only be in how it fit the wearer on the inner most 'comfort' layer. Other than that, no difference. That is not what EVE art should be like or look like, it's just what the reality of production and design would come up with.

So, make female suits as sexy or as pedestrian as you want CCP artists, but since sex sells, I can tell you which type would get more attention.

I dont see a difference between this and that armor. That is the same chest plate, maybe slightly bigger for male.

The what now?
