Kind of a natural consequence of getting your designs featured in a major movie.

>>51435637
the one thing that i feel like you could use to work in these kinds of guns is that they have parts cast from 3d printed molds since non homemade guns are regulated and tracked too tightly. And its difficult to create all the small delicate parts for anything but a revolver and or you need very powerful rounds/smart rounds for modern combat meaning automatics are even more difficult to reproduce at home

>>51435812

i really resent him for what his influence has done to power armor. whenever powered exoskeletons are in movies they are just completely exposed and don't have any armor to finish the effect and its all fucking Aaron Beck's fault

The idea of the concept makes sense to me. It's not like soldiers are always going to wear the maximum amount of armor for every occasion so these things don't always require it as well. And in the case where it's not physically attached to the body it looks like parts of it can be quickly swapped out if something got damaged granted it's not like everyone shooting at you is going to be some kind of crack shot specifically aiming to disable your exo armor.

>>51436268
if you are just carrying what you would be carrying as a non enhanced soldier you are wasting the exosuit. sure it will make lugging that shit around a lot easier but you could have it doing that AND providing real protection to your vital organs. This all started poping up when raytheon showed off their current model of exosuit and it looked just like the ones in aaron beck's art but they even say themselves the intention is for it to be the basis of an extra layer of armor

I'm just disappointed no one has ever done Starship Troopers (the book, not the movie) style power armor correctly.

>>51436043
automatic weapons are not difficult to make as long as you got some hand tools and blueprints. Just look at open bolt, straight blowback guns like the Sten, Grease Gun, Luty, etc. Australian biker gangs often make their own subguns just to get around Australia's gun control.

>>51436104
I like the naked frames because it shows the mechanics.
In my setting, frames differ per role. Some are very naked to minimize weight but offer the maximum increased physical speed and power.
Others are smothered in armor but tend to lose the speed trait due to the collective mass of frame and armor (and armament, of course).

Yes I don't disagree with what your saying but there are also different missions that require different things. You may not need to be up armored for every encounter and, like you said, it makes carrying what you carry around anyways a lot easier.

If you're doing a bust on some gang bangers then having the moderate level of strength enhancement could help in subduing suspects or carrying them around when you have to deal with Tiny the 400 lbs strong man of the bunch.

>>51436334
i am stretching really hard trying to help the guy that wants revolver rifles in sci fi settings. Automatic weapons for larger and more powerful round its significantly more difficult to produce

>>51436376
the idea of these providing a boost to speed is really silly unless that is coming from super jumping. Think about the fastest runners of the human race, they are the ones with the strongest legs. Speed isn't primarily derived from strength but from a large variety of sources. even if the suit was just forcing your body to take rapid large steps you would tear your ligaments apart. In terms of mobility exosuits provide endurance not speed

>>51436468
fine, sure but because aaron beck only likes exposed exosuits you get fucking messes like elisium and the all you need is kill hollywood thing and there isn't a single example of using exosuits for powerarmor.

One of the biggest benifits to a exoskeletal powerarmor system is you could take off and add armor plates and utility segments easily and i totally agree that different roles would use it for different things. I could imagine the most common though would just be a leg and back system so the load you are carrying doesn't way you down (thats what the military is really interested in in the first place)

>>51436707
we will get real power armor before then

>>51436824
If only because Hollywood Art moves slowly and Power Armor is practically finished now... they are missing a couple pieces, sure, and I am amazed they haven't figured it out when the answer is so obvious (to me anyway), but we are SO CLOSE to real power armor and Hollywood can take more than a decade to shake off an old copy of something. In fact the main reason Aaron Beck 'influence' might disappear is because after Power Armor has been in the field for a few years it will get copied for a movie and then everyone will copy that.

You say that but how much has the idea of certain sci-fi concepts bleed back into reality? Whatever your opinions of Aaron Beck are the way he makes his PA kinda fits the zeitgist of what exo skeletons are and generally look like.

I mean, how many real life versions of the Crysis suit do you see around or Warhammer being around longer than both of them and Starship troopers longer still.

>>51436794
That's an important consideration, thanks
I expected a lot of jumping around for the "speed" factor to really work

I'm wondering if it's feasible for the frame to put a "boost" in one's step to facilitate speed through larger strides over a small leap per leg.

I've always liked the idea of the muscle suits as they were shown in MGS as well as the material used to make Raging Raven's Wings.

So I suppose this is as good a place to ask as any but what are your guys thoughts on cybernetics/augmentations?

The more I think about it the idea of having a computer in your head sound ridiculous because I can't help but think of how much brain surgery you have to deal with to replace potentially outdated hardware or what would happen if you get injured in situ.

Personally I think it would make sense that augmentations would allow you to connect to external devices so instead of having the computer in your head you have to connections and your eyes being the hud displays, can show the readouts and would be easier to replace then cutting open your noggin multiple times.

Of course this goes out the window when you get into full body prosthesis.

Honestly im kinda surprised someone hasn't made a full-body bullet proof power armor set with a ten minute battery and just marketed it towards the police over the military.

For the police it doesnt matter if its battery life is shit. Clearing unsecured houses is risky as fuck, but it doesn't take long if you're bullet proof.

Drive it to where the gunman is holed up, rampage through the place iron man style until you've disarmed him, with all your buddies following behind you, then walk it outside.

I honestly think full sized power armor is generally retarded, but this is a genuinely good use of it that can't be matched by anything else. Bizarre no ones done it.

Not sure why everyone labels this picture as "Space Pirates" or "Space Buccaneers". The artwork clearly looks like it's referencing late Special Operations groups, a la Navy SEALS or Russian Spetsnaz.

You've got your "skull" masks, which are extremely popular with Special Forces regions around the United States; they're all wearing, more or less, standardized armor and equipment, they're flying in a well armored, high-tech vehicle, and they're clearly well-trained, far beyond the excuse of the common rabble.

If anything, these guys are clearly ex-military contractors or highly regarded mercenaries. Definitely not pirates or raiders in the likeliest sense.

Now THIS is what a space pirate should look like.

Because 10 minutes IS matter even for police. And peoples still working on fluidity of the exos, armoring it this early will becomes much of hindrance if the structure isn't perfected yet.

>I honestly think full sized power armor is generally retarded.

Full armored battlesuit was a military hard on for years, see TALOS. Its seems retarded because:

1. There's no small enought power source that can sustain it yet
2.The structure is still a bit restrictive for some task, which is understandable since were barely just begun.
3. People expect them to be 1:1 with MBTs, which is different kind of beast all together.

Hm. Yeah. That's a good point. Maybe the ammo being telescoping/caseless has something to do with it? Not actually sure how a telescoping/caseless gun would look IRL.

Anymore like this? Alien-tier chunky, 60s looking spacesuits? Engineers and miners more-so than military.

Surely muscle suits wouldn't work without being attached to an armored exoskeleton? I mean all they can do is contract. Without something hard to affix them to they will just squash/tear apart the user.

there was a picture in a character art thread a few days ago with a space soldier that looks like he has a cross on his helmet and has his arms outstretched, firing his weapons down both directions of a hallway. I recall him having some blood sprayed on his armor.
Did I stumble through that description well enough for anyone to remember what I am talking about?

I could SHIT a better tank design.

>District 9 came out, and though Neil's other works majorly sucked, his decision to go with the post-realistic machinations of Aaron Beck and etc. finally lead to the downfall of what I call "things that my autistic go ree"
I don't care what anyone says, Elysium is fantastic just for the aesthetic.

I gotta get my hands on that art book one of these days.

>>51461213
Finally someone with taste, I highly disliked district 9 as a whole but Elysium is aesthetic and design porn and all the people I talked about it always go full reeeee about the movie and disregard the mechanical aspects while sucking district 9 dick all day erry day.

This short is quite fitting for the thread and hope someday gets a real movie:

What about Keloid? It's a bit more on the heavy side to what is seen in Elysium what with bulky helmets and armor as well.

Pretty much everyone acknowledges that Elysium had god-tier designs going on. They just also acknowledge that District 9 was a million times better as a film.

Not that Elysium was awful or anything... it was just heavy-handed and simplistic, and didn't tie up its conclusion in a satisfying manner.

>>51438195
They weren't that off, the Moon's lower gravity would make it a perfect launch base.

>>51440714

>>51471788

Elysium was pretty satisfying right up until Matt Damon (who is not hispanic, come on Blomkamp, what the fuck was up with that) died and immediately every problem was solved by the fact that he was Space Station Occupy Wallstreet Jesus

Like, the aftermath of the film should have shown all the healthcare bots getting ripped to shreds by desperate mobs of millions of people. A few dropships of meds is not going to take care of a lower-class planet of billions.

"Chappy" was far better but also fucked up its ending. It's like Blomkamp can't into ending things anymore after DS9 which had the most satisfying ending of any sci-fi movie I've seen to date. Man blew his creative load or something.

>>51475984
My problem with Elysium, aside from the unsatisfying tie-up (they should have at least showed that Elysium's AI was going to work to mass-produce its healthcare systems), was that many of the characters were just... hollow.

Kreuger was effective and served his purpose as a terrifying threat, and Damon's struggle was identifiable and solid, which meant that their confrontation at the end was one of the best parts of the film. I found all the other villains just... unconvincing. They didn't feel like real people, not in the slightest. The same goes for the supporting characters on Damon's side; the hacker/gang lord that assists him especially, since he seemed to experience this weird, jarring character shift from opportunistic cyber asshole to man of the people near the end of the film.

Still, DAT FUCKING RAILGUN HOLY SHIT MY DICCCKKKK

>>51476524

I blame rushed development and executive meddling. Ever since Blomkamp got wide appeal from DS9 his movies have been "streamlined" and Hollywoodified. With the slight exception of Chappy's central arc, which was really solid.

Also, dem robot designs in Chappie. Good shit my man good shit.
