Are Poly Carapace Armour sealed?

[Vidgar]

Greetings All,
Are armoured suit like Poly Carapace seal against harsh environments, like 50 Atmos, 50 degrees C or -50 degrees C ?

Since it is not mentioned most likely not. Sealed armour usually requires the Vacc-Suit skill.

I think it would need life support.

Somewhere between Star Wars stormtrooper and Robo Cop. Either way, not sealed. I mean, you could seal it, but you'd suffocate.

 

[Condottiere]

Maybe oversuit.

Internal liner that can deal with that environmental condition, plus oxygen tank.

Thank for all the input.

I initially decide on a modified Vacc Suit Accessary Pack or Heatproof Suit addition to handle the temperature but not the pressure.

My problem developed from Traveller Map and Traveller World 5 - Herzenslust (1426 Reft) home world (50 Atmosphere = 500m underwater) Human can dive to 60m (6 Atmosphere) on air (Standard Oxygen / Nitrogen mix), but need armoured pressure suit for 500m, if at all.

I discovered by trimming some aspects of the planet like moving a planet in or out allows me to adjust the Temperature, so I adjust the Atmosphere down from 9 to 8 and the Atmosphere became survivable (2 Atmos).

I am amazed at the creation and the complexity of Traveller Map and Traveller World 5, but it bums me out that some many hospitable world are actually un-survivable.

Maybe a kickstarter could be raised to "adjust" some planets.

Again Thanks

I am not sure if you are aware, but the Traveller World 5 site (which is unofficial) has some flaws in its calculations. So it does not give results that match the text materials.

You can tell this because Terra is listed as a density of 0.88 Earths and an atmospheric density of 1.1, and its mean temperature is -39 C. None of which is true, obviously. Sadly, Traveller World is mostly useful for the maps, but even then you need to look closely.

Unfortunately, for such a useful tool is has it limitation. It a shame it cannot be "corrected".

I have been planning to locate the creator(s) but "Life" has got in the way. I suppose all the different version of Traveller, does not help.

Someone did tell me how to locate the creator, but I have stupidly deleted that email
