for the helmet I voted B, so space suit A. looks appropriate for the combo, but I think all 3 options for both the helmets and the suits should be used, allows diversity between players
I want the gloves and boots from suit C, but everything else from suit B.
50s on Victory server: Rip Colt ice/ice/ice tank; Prince of Wails sonic/mental/elec blaster; Dr. Gestalt ill/kin troller; Brandon Caine ss/stone/pyre brute; Sulfur Surfer ss/FA/Mu brute; Royal Paine claws/SR/pyre scrapper; Dash Colt DP/elec/elec blaster
I have to say I'm very excited about this costume set. I have a lvl 23 blaster on Justice named Flash Rodgers....

My IDEAL for a "retro space-suit" would be to have the base layer of suit A for the Chest and Bottom options, with a secondary choice have options like "Stripe 4" (for example, to give a different colored panel down the side - very "Japanese retro sci-fi") or have the glowing lines on the seams (except, please, God, lose that stupid zipper down the middle - like the picture above!)|

Also, the gloves and boots from B are the best of the three, inho.
I kinda like the simple belt from B, also.
And a slightly altered version of the Chest Detail from A...a little less "Darth Vader," but DEFINITELY with blinking lights!
The only bad things about B and C are that B looks too much like the "Stealth Suit" option already, and C looks too much like the "Crey Armor" option. But I must admit, I love the creativity of all three suits.
I went with B myself, because it looks like it will fit with the greatest number of concepts, and I love the glow pattern on the clothes.

I like option C , my favourite
Ooo hard choice between A and B. I went with B, it wasn't just the glow. Ok I kinda like the glow. I didn't really like C though. Its too roboty-armory.

C. That looks good.
I'm not sure I care for the glowing on B, but as long as C doesn't win, we all win - C looks too armory and we already have tons of that to choose from.
went with A this time

It's a dark and story night. That means something bad is happening out there
I went with A too, basically because "glowing stripes" woven into the suit seems far to modern to me. From the 30s to the 60s, artists in comics, books, films and television just didn't think that way when designing the Buck Rogers, tube-punk pressure suits.

I voted for C, for the shape and style, but would be great if it had a texture and glow line like B. Almost voted for B simply for the glow line, but couldn't get over the shoulders and over-all "roundness" of the suit. I think C would look great if it was more fabric and less metal.(IMHO)

B, again
Just because it looks VERY versatile ie. you could wear it with a "classic" superhero concept, but also as a spacesuit; a futuristic knight in armour; an alien; etc.
But I also like the "retro" feel of C...
Whichever one is chosen, please, please, please make one of the options REFLECTIVE SILVER.

B with C's shoulders, or C with B's gloves. But they are all cool.
Thanks to everyone for taking part in this selection! I hope we'll have something to show off very soon!

Is it weird for me to think it's impressive/shocking that this poll hit nearly 2000 votes? >_>
As Ive had problem for days now trying to get into the forums (the system recognizes me then promptly logs me out), and have the right to vote as any VIP subscriber, I am now adding my vote.
B for the suit.
Nevermind
