Talk:Semi-Powered Infiltration armor: Difference between revisions

Line 130:

:::The difference isn't all that drastic, though. By the same logic, the "normal" SPI helmet in the same piece (with the eagle symbol) is a "variant" because the [[:File:HM-SPI-schematic.jpg|base design]] lacks the sharp-edged ridges and the lower part of the visor is different. The "EVA-like variant" is actually in some ways ''closer'' to the base version, at least around the lower part of the visor. If we went that route, [[:File:HLL cover-Olivia full.png|Olivia's suit]] in the ''Last Light'' cover could also be considered a different variant, as it has considerably different detailing, gaps in the chest armor, blockier edges, and pylons on the sides of the back similar to Mjolnir armor (which most depictions of SPI armor don't have). Not to mention the forearms, which are a little different in almost every depiction. My point being, if we consider that one helmet a variant, we might as well list every other appearance of SPI armor a distinct variant because there are always some artistic differences. --[[User:Jugus|Jugus]] ([[User talk:Jugus|talk]]) 10:38, 15 January 2017 (EST)

'''(Indent reset)''' But the fact that that image clearly shows two different variants on the same image, I cant simply ignore it.

Plus the EVA-like helmet lacks the vents on its front, something that all Mirage-class helmets have at least in any depiction. (Bar the Headhunters one, but they are kinda already known to be special.)

Maybe we should ask Grim or someone about this. xD I tbh would love clarification.-[[User:CIA391|CIA391]] ([[User talk:CIA391|talk]]) 14:10, 15 January 2017 (EST)
