Tailored Vacc Suit

[Solomani666]

I'm looking for the equivalent of a tailored vacc suit in 2.0.
Is it missing?

vacc suit, tl12? At least that's what I've assumed...

It weighs twice as much as the original tailored vacc suit.

It's heavier, yes. But it also protects better than before. So perhaps it's not quite as much 'casual clothing' any more, but it is a really comfy suit of armour/vacc protection, and the description does say they get thinner and easier to use as TL increases which was basically the deal with the tailored suit too.

Besides, 8 kg isn't too heavy to wear for extended periods of time, as long as the weight is distributed well.

I'm just going to have to add it then.

I still like Pournelle's rubber suit; I think it's slimming.

So just curious, is a Tailored Vacc Suit really that different or just a better fit than an equal suit of the same TL?

How are you picturing this?

There is another as well of that character adrift with a broken lifeline. This is how I picture them. That and the images of the Scout Tailored Vacc suits from MegaTraveller.

2nd Edit: Oh, and that's the TL 14 model.

Exactly.

You know the Apollo Space Suits were tailored to the astronauts.

Yes, thus why I asked what they were thinking of. What they want is what I call the "Victoria Secret" Space Suits. But I get the desire for the uber-sexy suits, they are more fun to look at.

I admit it was a long time before I realized some folks were using their tailored suits as daily wear aboard ship in their games. In my mind, Tailored just means it does not rub wrong and thus I could maybe wear it longer and have a better range of movement in it. So while I am in a minority, it is something I have always struggled with. I just have a hard time picturing the space suit as skin tight coveralls visual. :mrgreen:

The term is bespoke, and you can multiply the price by a factor of five.
