First of all its almost always a bad idea to be hardwired into something you like to take off.


Connectors can be removed and disconnected. Chances are Samus doesn't do a lot of switching, only at the start of a mission and the end.

Though the sheer numbers of Missions she goes on means that the suit would be coming on and off quite a bit throughout her lifetime.  It would also be a prime area for foul play and infection when outside of the suit.

Quote

I propose that the form fitting suit allows for more granular temperature control and makes contact with the skin.  Thus being able to read the electric current running through the user much like an EKG, I think that is the one that does brain monitoring.  Then the skin tight suit has connections that feeds the data into the outer armor.  This is all assuming that it works on that sort of principle instead of working like a modern piece of armor.Felxible and form-fitting, yes.


However, the same effect could be done by a link to the nervous system. Re-rout motions for the user's arms to the suit's motors. Messages such as pain could be ignored and instead only displayed as a damage report, analyzed and treated with the correct dose of cellular regrowth stimulants.

Which could be accomplished by my scheme as well.  Its a very dangerous thing to try to block body generated incoming signals to the brain.  You could have a heart attack but you may never know and your body wouldn't be told how to properly respond.  Now the armor should send hot/cold, touch, etc and not pain.  I agree.  Though blocking the signals for pain entirely would be  bad idea.

Thinking about it the long hair makes less sense then the skin tight suit or even the bikini.


It's not military regulation, but as long as it's in a pony tail and hid in the back sections of the helmet so it's not in her face it will be fine.

Pretty much if the helmet part interacts with Samus more then just sight, smell, and hearing the hair would act as insulation and might mess up those features.

Edit: I need sleep. Leave a comment and I'll respond sometime tomorrow.

While it's true that it may be open to foul play, a neural link would be harder to take advantage of then your system, as unless they have the same brain patters as Samus, chances are tey won;t get much use from it. As for infections, hopefully the Chozo wouldn't mess up with the surgery.

Which could be accomplished by my scheme as well.  Its a very dangerous thing to try to block body generated incoming signals to the brain.  You could have a heart attack but you may never know and your body wouldn't be told how to properly respond.  Now the armor should send hot/cold, touch, etc and not pain.  I agree.  Though blocking the signals for pain entirely would be  bad idea.

Yes, your method would work, but the link method would allow the suit's life support to get the full data and respond quickly to alleviate the situation. So if the user is experiencing a heart attack the suit could respond to that without the user ever needing to know.

Pretty much if the helmet part interacts with Samus more then just sight, smell, and hearing the hair would act as insulation and might mess up those features.

Hmm, good point. But since it can be removed so easily and the armor continues to move I do think it's just to shield the head and provide the HUD.

How does she go to the bathroom in a form fitting inner suit? Hmmmm, yeah I thought so.


As Cedric said, like astronauts do.

Regarding the Zero Suit: my brain says no but my crotch says "oh yes!"

Regarding the practicality of a jumpsuit under the armour: Meh, it's been this way since game 1.  In fact, you could argue that Samus taking off her suit as a reward for winning quickly is one of the most subversively sexual things going on in video games, even if she is a strong feminine character the rest of the time.

Regarding the Zero Suit interface with the regular suit: My crotch says *blank stare* but my brain says *double blank stare*.
That's my opinion, not yours.

That's quite an original way to answer the questions. You have a good point on Question #2.

It's not a robot suit. It's a woman in power armor. Humanity and machine, separate but one, together forming something greater then the sum of its parts.

Or are you just afraid of strong women?

Agreed.

I would also like to pint out that is the most active non-locked topic in this section, but Bill's update thread will probably surpass it soon.

But seriously, a "strong woman" who gets her power solely from an external power source isn't truly strong...That's why she's strong regardless of whether or not she has her suit... =)

That cliche is used in a lot more mediums then just anime.

Correction: A strong woman with the endurance to survive being infused with Chozo blood, years of intense training from practically the time she could walk and being able to take out an entire planet of foes alone and defeating each of the enemy commanders who happen to be aliens many times larger then her, all the while not showing any signs of fear or worry.

I was going mostly for mental strength and willpower.

Exactly. Any bozo can slap on a suit of Power Armor and show off. But it takes a soldier to put that armor to the test on the battlefield.

He's a flawed character, yes. I don't see the connection to the current debate.

Yes, Iron Man wears power armor. So do the TCA and Marines in Unreal II, the Brotherhood of Steel in Fallout, Master chief in Halo and Space Marines from Warhammer 40k.

Does that make it any more relevant? Not really.

So, steroids are the answer?

Really, I'm sorry, but you need to elaborate. I have no idea what your post is referring to.
