BigJackBrass Posted October 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Re: But can you get it in cool colours? Cool! Mind if I link this thread to my Future Tech thread? Link away! The fact that it's apparently very close to appearing made me think of Dark Champions as the logical setting for the technology, but it certainly counts as Future Tech.

Comic Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Re: But can you get it in cool colours? Green. The cool color is supposed to be green. Because SWTs are supposedly the width of the wavelength of green light. Don't think it works out that way, but.. in theory.. green is a cool color.

Roter Baron Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Re: But can you get it in cool colours? Cool power-armors and generally super-strong stuff should only come in RED! Or the colour of entrails. Never forget the needs of the living impaired (DON'T use the Z-Word!)for protection agaisnt discriminating neighbours.
