are skintight suits like those viable in any combat scenario? asking for my sci-fi scenario

>>63996696 (OP)
Skin tight suits + extremely well sealed helmets have been concepted for vacuum environments before.

Way less cumbersome than a fully pressurized space suit and far lighter, while still protecting your body from the adverse effects of vacuum exposure.

There are a few big issues that made them technologically unfeasible:

A) The helmet obviously can't be skin tight, so the neck seal has to be phenomenally strong. You're wearing a champagne bottle with a cork ready to pop if it malfunctions.

B) Small holes are surprisingly enough, not a *huge* problem. Localized exposure to vacuum on small sections of skin isn't pleasant but they aren't anywhere near immediately fatal, allowing temporary patches/sprays to be applied. The issue is temperature regulation in vacuum, which may mean wearing another layer above for either cooling or heating.

C) Like the bimbo in your OP picture, the suits would be like wearing a layer of paint. Combined with point B), you would realistically wear some sort of coverall over the skinsuit for a variety of reasons.

Nothing baby powder can't fix.

>>63996755
Just a really rigorously tested and vetted neck seal will do the trick.
Even with another insulating layer on top for certain environments (Say, exposure to direct sunlight in vacuum), the idea is to get the encumberance of the whole spacesuit down to something closer to a diving suit + air tanks than the big, cumbersome suits used during EVAs historically.

But it does give you the exact kind of sci-fi cheesecake that was the unspoken question of the OP. In something like an asteroid colony, they would be very common and a latex fetishists dream I suppose.

>>63996772

I'm sure that whatever sci-fi civilization decides that hot women in catsuits are a military necessity can figure out some sort of a lubricant to prevent it

>>63996696 (OP)
A skintight suit wouldn’t hinder your movements as much as pants or shirts so maybe for fighting? But you can also get the same thing with looser clothing like a karate gi, but the skintight suit also has the advantage of not getting snagged on stuff. But also in the karate gi your figure is more hidden, like if I fought in a skintight suit then everyone would see my massive penis and I would have to keep rebuffing women and my wife would get mad, but that wouldn’t happen if I was wearing like jedi robes or something.

Maybe your sci-fi scenario can revolve around the argument of what’s best for fist fighting? One faction can adopt skin tight clothing and looks like they are about to go scuba diving, the other faction has adopted loose fitting clothing and look like dragonball cosplayers. I had an AI create an image of what this would look like, I think it’s pretty good. This was a great idea you had, OP.

>>63996696 (OP)
Do you hikers, athletes and "spartan race" people in skintight spandex? It could work but the question is why.

You have some disadvantages such as thorns poking worse, durability, chaffing, sharper silhouettes, clothing sizes, comfort/compression for extened periods and heat retention/airflow.

A magical advanced spandex with ideal airflow, comfort and protection would be fine. You would still likely wear overgarmets and armor.

>>63996696 (OP)
With the right materials and if it’s skin tight, you get reduced fabric noise when moving.

>>63998894
>Do you hikers, athletes and "spartan race" people in skintight spandex? It could work but the question is why.
The why is because the skintight stuff doesn’t hinder your movement but can keep you warm for things like scuba diving or biatholons, keep the sun off of you like surfing shirts, or for aerodynamics like bicycle racing clothing.

No one would complain about women in WWII video games if it was big-tittied SS blondes with scoped FG-42s fighting a pregnant Anne Frank with a Sten gun (suppressed of course to keep it from hurting the baby’s hearing). Change my mind.

>>64000811
a multi-dimensional empire that advanced probably only needed a few hundred test subjects for vivisection to determine anatomical and biological constraints before beginning initial testing. besides, there were plenty of resources to work from on site, meat is cheap. stalkerization was probably automated within months.

>>63996696 (OP)
You can at least get through and maybe slip in tiny passages easier.

>>64000867
I maintain half life is one of the darkest overall settings for humanity ever conceived that still stays within the bounds of planet earth more or less (unlike settings which span entire galaxies, which may be darker in terms of sheer volume but are much harder to actually grasp or relate to). Can't wait for HLX

>>64000867
a stalker is probably what you become if you fail to meet basically any other biological/mechanical use, they just make you a fucking button pushing troglodyte with bare minimum of ability to interact with the world and probably lobotomized too so you can't have any higher thought

the only people in the "Combine" not totally fucked beyond saving are the metro police, everyone else has been genetically altered beyond human physiology.. but I think even they get slowly drip fed "upgrades" until they basically become a Combine solider.. or probably your first "promotion" is a nice trip to the fuckin surgical wing of the Citadel to get COMBINE'D

>>64000957
so fun fact, the stalkers don't actually exist because they're "useful", they purely exist as a terror weapon / punishment method. The combine makes stalkers primarily out of resistance members they capture alive, or out of innocent bystanders, and this knowledge is public (although it's not clear how as we never see stalkers shown anywhere citizens could see them, but alyx definitely knows)
this clip from HL2E1 is a perfect example of the psychological effect they're meant to have on resistance fighters - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipYOMnTwulo
you're right about metrocops though, if you're willing to betray your fellow humans it's likely the only way to lead a half decent life within combine-controlled society. Ultimately though the sad truth of the combine occupation is that by the time the events of HL2 unfold, you would almost certainly be dead. It always gets me how ludicrously fucked up, moving and philosophically impactful the setting of HL2 is relative to what it was meant to be originally (valve showing off their cool new physics and making a fun shooter to followup HL1)

>>64000957
there are dispatch lines reminding units that memory replacement is a requirement for promotion to higher grades, or for automated stimulant injection. at the very least every metrocop we see has an insulin pump full of amphetamines, and at worst might already have received some initial modifications. though i imagine the plan would be just to clone the best performers once you've got a wide enough dataset and proceed from there.

>>64000977
One neat detail about HL2E1 is that as you're fleeing the city before the citadel detonates, you quickly realise that whilst the overwatch fully augmented soldiers are still fighting tooth and nail to kill you, the metrocops appear to be simply trying to flee the city on their own terms (albeit trying to kill you if they run into you)

>>64000972

Now we're talkin'.

>>63996730
>A) The helmet obviously can't be skin tight, so the neck seal has to be phenomenally strong. You're wearing a champagne bottle with a cork ready to pop if it malfunctions.
Ok, but how would you deal with the neck?
How do you make an airlock that is glued to someone's neck?
It has to be a division, so unless it's kinda fused with the skin I don't see how that would work, but maybe I just lack creativity.
Also, how would the body respond to the difference in pressure? Head is at 1atm, Body is at 0, what kind of pressure would the body use? Wouldn't that be harmful?

>>64001224
Your skin is airtight - you don't need to be in a completely sealed suit to maintain internal pressure. The point of the suit is that it provides mechanical compression on your body.

However IIRC breathing is a major issue - the suit would lose tension as you exhale and reduce the volume of your torso, which would result in reduced inward pressure on your diaphragm. Since your air supply pushes your lungs outwards at atmospheric pressure, the net result of this is that your lungs would forcibly inflate and you would find it almost impossible to exhale.

I'm unsure if anyone has figured out a clever trick to solving this problem - all the concept suits that I have seen use hard shells for the entire torso and head, with only the limbs being in soft suits.

As for how you maintain pressure, the answer is the same way you make an airtight seal with anything else - you either squeeze a soft thing between two hard things so the air can't push hard enough force its way past the soft thing, or you chemically bond a soft thing between two hard things so there is a continuous surface without any gap for the air to flow through, or you just have enough thick gooey soft stuff between the two hard things that the air can't overcome the gooey stuff's viscosity. Each approach has its advantages and disadvantages, and obviously you would have to be careful about applying a tight seal around someone's blood vessels (particularly in their neck).

>>64001367
>However IIRC breathing is a major issue - the suit would lose tension as you exhale and reduce the volume of your torso, which would result in reduced inward pressure on your diaphragm.

What if the counterlung is just a soft pouch in front of your torso? Volume would remain constant in your torso area

>>64001388
Hmm, I guess that would work if the counterlung was correctly shaped, although designing a form fitting airbag that is somehow constant volume as the torso articulates while varying its volume with lung use sounds distinctly non-trivial to engineer.

You could get around that problem by using a hard shell to restrict the torso's articulation and anchor the counterlung to something with a constant volume, but at that point you are halfway to a sealed clamshell torso piece and have lost one of the major advantages of ditching the sealed torso in the first place (better freedom of movement).

actually makes a lot of sense, would be hard to get normal "cops" to bust down doors and shoot/beat civilians like the start of HL2, that is unless they're being promised what I imagine is the alien equivalent to blue meth if they listen.. sounds pretty good in this destitute dystopian euro-hellscape

I dunno about this one, anon. Maybe an Eastern Euro anon could offer a better perspective, but to my thinking this was essentially what the cops in dictatorships do all the time. Big tyrants tend to make countless petty tyrants, because while few people have the balls or the skill to take on the head honcho, there's always someone further down the totem pole you can take your frustration out on. Hell, even here in the US this is essentially what drives a decent chunk of police brutality incidents. A toxic mixture of cynicism, burnout, and anger at your superiors or city officials or choose your boogeyman for making your life more difficult combine to turn the handcuffed suspect in front of you and your cop buddies into the world's most tempting pinata.

Parasites that only exist to leech technology and bodies of other species they catch to grow bigger. Their dyson sphere logo implies they have the tech to imprison stars for energy but they haven't figured out teleportation, which is why they give two shits about earth because they figured us out when we went to Xen. All of their ability and equipment is some combination of stolen tech with alien organic mass which culminates in something unknowable to the average human. They won the entire earth in 7 hours of conflict and then just packed their bags to do other shit with the most basic human slaves to watch the shitshow of uncovering teleportation, which means they simply just operate well outside of our understanding. Likely has something to do with Gman's employers being some substantial threat.

>asking for my sci-fi scenario
Form follow function.
Find functions that profit from the form you want.

A favorite of mine for the space-age.

1) You can't wear a vacuum-rated spacesuit all the time,
- you risk puncturing it by accident, needing costly repair,
- it's thick, bulky, heavy, unpractical, also a pain to wash,
- you'll keep them safe and ready to slip on at moment notice.

2) spaceship
- mass isn't cheap, every gram asks for more propellant
- you don't make 3 meters wide pressurized corridors if you don't need to move big things inside
- unless you have artificial gravity, you'll be floating in 0G clothes have to adapt for that
- don't have the budget to carry tons of ceremonial clothing.

3) skintight suits
- they make it easier to slip into spacesuits, tight space, and they don't need to be treated carefully,
- they keep your moisture and dead skins away from others and from the ventillation,
- material can spread your body heat uniformly, no point sweating in it,
- no pocket means you won't forget something in it, if you take tools, you sign them out, then in,
- if you really need to carry stuffs, just add a harness over it or give it to your reliable drones,
- if the suit stretch easily/smartly, you need less size to fit everyone,

4) combat
- make it easier to see where you are hurt and seal the wound,
- hopefully you have medical science that don't require to cut the clothes, else its a criteria,
- if it's make of smart-material that contract at will, it can be used to fight G-force,
- the suit can be made as an interface for something else,
- the suit can also just make the body position a known factor, keep it in position in the combat suit so you don't need to adjust plenty of straps,

When driving my autism to its limits trying to imagine what kind of skin tight sci-fi suit make sense in my mind I always go back to Old Snake's muscle suit.

The only modifications I would make would be making the arms/legs modular and replacable and making it so it could be worn under uniforms like MGS3 Snake wore his sneaking suit.

>>64010008
I'm not proud of the fact that I know the lore behind this particular skinsuit.

>>64006431
The original Combine race was long ago assimilated by its own creation. Even the leaders are just minds forced into grub bodies wholly dependent on the system with no way to benefit from their position. It is a true system of systems, leaderless and self sustaining, conquering, adapting and expanding for the benefit of no one and nothing. It is basically the Borg from Star Trek but without the benefits of a collective consciousness and everyone is miserable and suffering.

Bungie devolved after getting bought by Microsoft. All the old gang left and corporate shit took over. It's an empty shell now.

We'll never see another Pathways Into Darkness and for that I am sad.

The old Soviet lace up pilot suits.

>>63996753
You have to go back.

modern stretchy fabrics like cotton spandex could reduce the bulk of pleating around the joints.
although the mobility and breathability would be a little reduced.

>>64007815
It has to be A. Smart material support totally works that way, trust me.

Also, smart materials reflect light away from the enemy, it's just a coincidence that the camera is positioned in a way that let's us se those reflected highlights on tits and asses.

How viable would armor over skintight bodysuits be when guns exist?

>>64011534
MIT spent some time developing a concept for a counterpressure suit that alllowed for add-onn armor to protect the suit from puncturees.
Of course this was just for protection from scratches, pointy rocks, etc. on Moon or Mars, but in principle you could expand on this and attach a plate carrier.

>>64006431
these anons >>64007192 >>64007928

essentially a fan's idea of what the combine overworld (or at least one of them) could look like and how fucked up the combine really is to look at

>>64008756
It’s not like anything. How are you supposed to pierce the latex with your penis? And you can’t just have a zipper there, that’s just asking to get your giblets bitten by a zipper.

>>63996696 (OP)
Apparently latex clothing is totally comfortable and non restricting and it isn’t hot or smelly at all, just refer to this totally unbiased source:
https://lifestylebyps.com/blogs/women/the-truth-about-latex-clothing-realities-and-myths

>>64012053
latex is super comfy, anon.

>>64011534
>is armor viable when guns exist?
Yes. Why would what they’re wearing under the armor make the armor unviable? Some guy in BDUs with a plate carrier and a gimp in a tight pleather suit with a plate carrier are going to have the same level of protection (as far as bullets are concerned at least).

>>64011382
All this material provides some inherent protection too, like try licking this guy in the nuts. It would be hard to target and your kick could get bound up in the clothing or slowed by it.

The ninja suit is also really cool so it gets style points. Only for guys though. The women should have tighter clothing obviously.

Creaky rubber/latex suits don't make much sense for combat scenarios, but in a sci-fi setting they can very much be a thing as mechanical counter pressure suits, something that's been tested since the 50s.

>>64010079
What's the lore?

I can definitely see the appeal of wearing something skintight but highly breathable as a bottom layer underneath your armor. Armor isn't breathable, so you end up with unpleasant hot, sweat-soaked spots where it's pressing against the body.

I think the anon below you is correct, honestly. At the very least, you're probably going to spend a a lot of money unless you have a specific build. If you like the feel though, disregard looking cool.

The culture is moving past WWII as its creation mythology. All the fiction of the 1930s had various Yellow Peril bad guys. post WWII it's been various Nazi knock offs. I'd argue we would have swung towards Middle Eastern culture as bad guys if the entertainment establishment hadn't dumped WWII everywhere at the end of the 1990's. We ended up fighting a constant war in the Middle East for two decades, but we kept getting WWII movies and games. Anyway, we have a generation coming up that doesn't have anyone closer than a great grandfather who fought in WWII, and media, tv, movies and games, that might have kept the mythos going are shit.

I wonder how the skintight suit tech was back during the Second World War.
Could they have made them? How durable even are they, like do they lose the skintightiness after putting it on and off a few times?

Synthetic rubber, which is more durable than natural rubber, and the technologies of aqualungs and rebreathers were developed around the time of World War II.
