Option A looks the most like a retro space suit. Option B's glowing lines would make it look too much like Tron, and option C looks a little too much like powered/robotic plate armor than a space suit.

Tron = Win

Totally went for B for the tron-ness of it

A with B shoulders and C knees. I like the bendy-straw like joints.

Nope, not that, just asking folks not to *campaign* for a specific option.

Thanks and keep the votes coming!

Nothing wrong with Tron in general, but it's not really "retro" either unless you're young enough to consider anything from 1982 to be old enough to be retro now. Let's just say I wouldn't mind a Tron-ripoff here as long as the retro stuff is taken care of first.

Yeah, I'm gonna add to the lots of people who would love to have the chest detail from A as an option. But i picked B 'cause I felt the pieces would be a lot more versatile in different costume combinations.

C, with B's glowy parts (or at least the option)

I couldn't agree more.

I'd go with C. It's the most interchangeable, allowing for more than just the intended use.

It would double as armor. Any kind of armor from a suit to a robot.

Edit: Switching to B.

Well i voted b cause i like glowies and main structure of B. the chest thing on A should be a chest detail IMHO for all of them. and i also prefer the gloves and boots on A.

B, without a doubt. C looks too much like some of the other armored/robotic/metallic parts we already have, and B has the slightly-oversized gloves (want).


Please try MA arc ID 351455, "Shard Stories: Scavenger's Hunt." Originally created for the Dr. Aeon contest, it explores the wild potential of one of the City's most concept-rich but content-poor settings: the Shadow Shard.

I voted for A but there are parts from all three that I like. Mooshing together bits of A and C would work well.

You know what? After looking at them more, you're right. Switching to B.

Yeah, but B is basically the Stealth torso and legs with rivets, glow lines, and accordian shoulderpads.

The boots and gloves on B are pretty awesome though.

I had to go with B for the glowy lines but I do love the boots and gloves from C quite a bit.

Sorry but for me, glowy lines > ringy gloves & boots.

Looking at B, I was wondering if maybe we could get a Stripe 5 for torsos out of it, assuming it wins. (noting again that Stripe 4 is still only available for Male, but not Female and Huge torsos)

Look at where the padding/ribbed glow part outlines. Seems like it would be a nice simple pattern line.

I already mentioned this Facebook but I'll repost my thoughts here: Option B's side panel-quiltiing looks extremely similar to the side-panel quilting in the Stealth set we already have. I just see way too similarities between that set and this draft image to vote for B.

Ideally I prefer C - if only because it looks more metallic/spacesuit-y. I can almost imagine that suit would/could look very Buck Rogers if the shiny texture is done right.

EDIT: But don't let my opinion sway you.

A, please. And thanks for letting the voting run till my birthday.

I ultimately went B. All of them have their pros, but I personally felt the torso especially was a bit too "armory" on C and thus partially replicated a costume option we already have represented. I liked the sleekness of A more than B, but I felt B provided the most novelty in terms of expanding the costume space. I also felt that while the gloves and boots were not quite as stylistic as A or C, they would also be most likely to be reusable in other costumes.

All just my opinion of course.

I'd even go so far as to say that Design C would make a good start for a Medieval Costume Set (minus the Sci-Fi bits on the Gloves and Boots). I just look at Design C and think "metal plates" for some reason.
This is the exact reason I didn't vote for C, despite it having my favorite pieces (Ringed Gloves/boots) in it.

My favorite parts were tied to my least favorite parts.

I'd find it much easier to vote on this costume piece if I knew what parts of the item were affected by color selections. For instance, do the glowing lines on B take the color of the rest of the suit, only glowing, or do they take the other color selected?

Put more simply, could we have a variation on the picture in highly-contrasting colors such as bright red primary/bright blue secondary to help us make this decision?

Thanks for working so closely with the fan community on this, development people!
