Re: Powered Armour
would red and black look better for Magmatic? Red and yellow works but its uglier than sulfur (Sulfur should be ugly, its an ugly element)
How many Minbari does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

Re: Powered Armour
Maybe... red and black is kinda hard to do though. Anything and black is hard to do, the way I am doing these!

Re: Powered Armour
Ah. Very cool, then. But wouldn't the ball joints assume the scheme along with all the sheet metal?GrahamKennedy wrote:Yes, absolutely.

I like all the camo variations, but didn't you mention the fact that the Coalition has variable appearance or chameleon tech? If so, this would be the ideal candidate.

Re: Powered Armour
I'm thinking that the ball joints don't get the surface coat because they have surfaces scraping over them. Kinda like how you don't paint over the moving parts of a hinge.

Re: Powered Armour
Would it be beneficial for the central hull to have a hinge in the middle as well, so that it can face the enemy easier when suddenly attacked from behind?

Re: Powered Armour
It's an idea, but the only way to do it would be to have the whole body section on a ring that could rotate independently of the legs. I don't think it's that practical when the whole thing can just turn around if needed.shran wrote:Would it be beneficial for the central hull to have a hinge in the middle as well, so that it can face the enemy easier when suddenly attacked from behind?

Re: Powered Armour
True, and joints are inherently weak spots in the design. The less, the better.
