1-can a drop suit withstand the 100 fathoms (under the ocean) against the outer shell and have the wearer survive?
[implying it can that would open up a whole new possibility of maps]

2-can a drop suit withstand the vacuum of space?

3-what happens if you shart in your drop suit?

4-do drop suit's have cup holders? (or are they just the average joe dorp suit with no cup holders?)

5-does a drop suit have a rebreather for the odd occurrence when you are on toxic plants?

This is something for CCP Eterne to pull from the lore bible about.

As far as I know, the current drop suits are all environment suits save for a few places.

This would be new stuff that would need to be written.

Right now, the only dropsuits we have in game are those for use on temperate planets. It's entirely in the hands of where game design goes in future as to what other types of dropsuits are introduced. Technical backstory would then be written around game design decisions.

Personally I'd love to see suits for use in vacuum, underwater, HAZMAT suits for use on Plasma and Lava planets, that kind of thing. It'd be pretty cool to have a huge firefight on the erupting surface of a Lava planet.

Cool

I'm sure they can survive a massive amount of pressure. That kind of pressure though, who knows? 2. I should imagine so 3. Sucks to be you, buddy! 4. Yes, but they only hold cans. Cans of whoop-ass. 5. I should imagine that role specific suits for HAZMAT usage would, yes.

Recently there's been too many complaining threads, troll threads and threads that should just be in different sections of the forum. If I were in a Blue tag's position, I wouldn't bother comment in those threads. Anyhoo, I wonder if the clones we use in battle even have to go to washroom. I mean, since they are disposable and pretty much destined for tragedy. I wouldn't bother with them having any traditional form of sustenance. Just stay energized in Bio Goop until deployment. *shrug

Could you imagine how this would necessitate the use of dropships if travel on foot were only possible via hazardous terrain!
Sev Alcatraz The Tritan Industries RISE of LEGION 275	Posted - 2013.06.16 01:39:00 - [12] - Quote hmmm a geothermal research facility on an amarr controlled planet that is attack by the gallente federation, the only way to survive the 12000 degree heat would be a drop suit with an intercooler system built in to keep the wearers body temp below 75 or take the other route "mmmm the sweet smell of brimstone in your burning nostrils and the aroma of burning hair and sizzling flesh" 10,000 fathoms below an aquatic planet on an under water mining facility a world were the atmosphere is 90% acid and 10% nerve gas the possibilities are endless

Zeylon Rho Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 794	Posted - 2013.06.16 01:49:00 - [14] - Quote There's still possibilities for temperate planets we're not seeing quite yet: Playing a map with a torrential downpour, snowstorm, dust/sandstorm. Also, you never seem to play maps that are particularly dark (like... night-time). I'd think that gameplay having elements where lights are on around installations (naturally), but light is limited elsewhere would be interesting. Merc ops aren't sports games, I assume they go ahead regardless of weather. All of that is within the realm of temperate. You do see wind kick up dust into your sights sometimes I suppose, that's not quite the same as full-scale weather changes though. It would be interesting if on maps with heavy rain, heavier suits were slower on ground/mud, but kept regular speed on metal platforms and installations. Or I guess all suits could just take a speed hit, it would just seem larger on a heavier suit.

But wouldn't it be boring as hell to fight in a vacuum, since sound doesn't travel in a vacuum , a plasma planet (assuming atmosphere) would cause significant damage to our suit and other electronics, specially shields.

If it had been a thread about a bug / glitch / broken mechanic / etc.. etc.. it would just die beneath the numerous troll threads because CCP devs are at this point the equivalent of an ostrich.

[implying it can that would open up a whole new possibility of maps] 100 Fathoms is only 600 Feet below the surface, a dropsuit should EASILY be able to handle that pressure (we , here on earth, currently have suits that can go much deeper that that) Perhaps you meant 1000 fathoms? (6000 feet, the bottom of the ocean)
