It's funny, there's this tendency for people to refer to earlier conversations, although it's hard to find the links. This game has an under-utilized wiki page, but there's enough density in the forums to fill a wiki, if only the forums were as easily navigable.
I'm using "Search" function and when I'll find post I was looking for I'm changing link for "quotation":
e.g.
http://asciisector.net/forum/posting.php?mode=quote&p=[number]
I'm taking [number] for making link to particular post:
http://asciisector.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=[number]#[number]
It'll be much easier if CK could make some improvements for "quick links". I mean some forums have posts with "#" sign which offers direct link to particular post.
I've actually reached a point now where I've maxed out both guilds, and switching to a Drayman just means slower mission resolution for a lot more money (assuming I don't ram into anyone). I've actually reached The End until someone makes a new quest, or until version 7. Running errands for fixers doesn't appeal to me, although I haven't maxed them out yet. I don't do assassination missions for them, though, so other than rescues there's not much that I want to do for them.
Yeah... recently I didn't played much and since "sell boosters" bug was discovered I make some test only.
For the null-pressure suit, wordsearch for MCP on this page:

"Marsskin"? It looks like some kind of
space activity suit. Interesting idea, indeed. But some serous research must be done to resolve problems with keeping human body temperature. I mean problems with "terminal cold" (near 0 K) is one story and overheating caused by lack of "temperature exchange" (like for radiator) is whole different one. Some kind of "advanced
goretex" material should be used. Besides IMHO time required for putting it on could be longer. Why? Well, let's imagine full body "
spandex uniform" that is 2 cm thick and it is VERY tight because of "mechanical counter pressure" effects... Ouch! Without some improvements and new materials (that are able to change its volume after "receiving" some voltage) it could be very difficult.
It was well described in
"The Forever War" novel by
Joe Haldeman - soldier in malfunctioned Space Combat Armor almost died because of thermal shock after destruction/damage of suit's radiator.
I'm recommending Anime series
"Planetes" (short
review; and
another). There were shown some adventures of a team of "space cleaners". Authors tried to present "space realism" as much as possible... and as contrasted with popular Anime series there are only adult persons as protagonists (the youngest "rookie" girl in team is 20 year old). I like it very much.
What is this info for? Well, for space suits of course! Official (English)
trailer shows some action with space suits.
Opening shows a little bit of actual conquest of space history... and idea for space suits too. It looks like improved present solution for future open space
EVA.
Some pictures of space suits:





Official Japanese
site (suit is well presented). Especially I like idea of "hard cover" for helmet. Every time when I see "glass bubble" I think: "One hit and game is over"... :pinch:
