Hello All!
I'm Erin, I'm new as of this post, and I'm seeking to open up to the advice of the people of the forums. I'll be looking through the different threads and seeking out the wisdom of those much more experienced than myself, but for now, I will post at least what I have.
Being a fan of the Halo series since it's inception back with Halo: Combat Evolved, I have played all of the games in the series as a solo player on legendary, and through the co-ops on legendary. The one that really caught my heart in the series, however, was Reach, which introduced the campaign and cutscenes which allowed you to see your glorious player-armor and setup on screen.
I've always been a huge fan of armor. I've been in love with creating things for years. To find the combination met here only increases my excitement. I have been on the outside of these forums for a while and have drawn many plans.
I'll never get those done unless I start, and I'm going to try and reach out now for accountability, and for this to serve as a log and place to receive advice, discussion, and to make connections.
Now, without further ado, where I'm at.
Being on the back-end of school, I'm going to have a bit more time. I will have limited space to work, but if I keep things organized, I hope that I can keep things streamlined and possible.
My armor design is based off of the armor I settled into during the campaign at Reach.
Armor Design:
Helmet: CQC + CBRN Attachment
Chestplate: Default (Mjolnir Mk V )
Left Pauldron: ODST
Right Pauldron: Recon
Left Arm: Bracer
Right Arm: Tac-Pad {Phone Holster}
Kneepads: FJ-PARA
Greaves: Default
Extra: Soft First-Aid bag
Goals:
- Closed Cooling Circuit: Installed into the undersuit, stitched between two layers of fabric. One is against the body, the other is against the armor. Worn as many pieces as needed. Using a water-based cooling circuit (taking inspiration from the water cooling systems fancy and extremely high-end computers might use), I intend to have a small aquatic pump push water from a small storage unit (like a water bottle) out to the rest of my suit, especially across chest, neck, and back to reduce heat build up within the suit. Cooling setup I'm considering is a Peltier, which needs electricity to cool one side impressively quickly. The other side heats very quickly, and I'm pondering a heat-sink escape in the "backpack" of the armor, where the fusion cell would traditionally sit. The only other question is how to prevent the cooling system from running too cold in one place or freezing.
- Helmet Speaker System: A simple wiring circuit [Such as This Example] would work well, allowing my voice to be heard outside of the suit.
- Helmet Audio System: Another simple piece of technology would allow me to hear in Audio outside of my helmet. [This will do for that purpose.][This Chip]. The benefit of the attached chip is that my "hearing" will be in earpieces that I can tuck into my ears. I'm concerned about feedback or interference but hope the circuit will not conflict with the speaker system.
- Dependable Airflow Through Helmet: The design of the CQC allows for the potential of airflow to enter through the front of the helmet. With the CBRN attachment, I hope to have small fans be able to push this air out of the helmet, allowing for airflow and to help keep the helmet cool.
- Tac-Pad- SmartPhone: With the intention of having my phone available, I would like to have a casing for it I can easily slide case and phone into the arm-brace for accessibility.
- Trauma Bag: First Aid kit filled with first aid materials. Just in case, after all.
Wishlist:
- CBRN capable Attachment at end of Existing CBRN design. (In an emergency, would make this helmet functional.)
- Heavy Magnetic Strips: On Back to hold a cosplay DMR. On right thigh to hold a deactivated energy sword.
- Heel/Calf Exo in leg armor, assisting the walking. [See Here]. I am fascinated by the idea of it, and anything to help make walking easier in the suit would likely be a bonus. And an unpowered version?! That helps a person move faster/more easily in armor? All the better!!!
