Title: Might be unrealistic but...
Post by: Orar Skirata on August 17, 2012, 10:09:02 PM
Vode, I've been seriously thinking lately, and I want to attempt to create a set of beskar'gam that closely resembles how they are in the books, games, etc. I know most aspects are unrealistic, but I was thinking about trying to create a basic HUD (showing stuff like blood pressure, heart rate, body temp, and maybe an artificial horizon with a compass). Also, a walkie-talkie-like feature for short-ranged comms. Honestly, I have no idea where to start on any of it, and if I do accomplish this, it will probably take years, but it is something that I definitely want to do. Any input is welcome, be it positive or negative.

Oh, the ideas I get when I'm tired, stressed, and reading Star Wars  :D

Been there... But it is an awesome idea, and while expensive is mostly tech available today. Wait a few years, like 10 or so, and the tech will get cheaper. We're getting there, unless of course our economics continue to plummet.

I think the walkie-talkie could probably be done rather easily, as for the rest, I'm sure the Navy could afford it, but I can't.
