That's the stuff, a question and a musing though.
Why do the females need ear pipes? (Quips and puns aside.)
I'm curious why no one ever seems to do glows for the lights or sensor rods on their vessels. Mine have them and personally I really like the look of it, even when it's subtle.
Not that I'm saying you should, I just personally think it helps to break up the monotony of the a colour scheme with out breaking up the colour scheme.
Thick smoked glass that keeps the lights from glowing too much and our sensor rods... well, they have no lights on them. They're sensor rods. Not torches.
But seriously, I think the light coming from the windows is bright enough... And this faction simply doesn't use lights on the end of sensor rods.
However, I might be persuaded to attach some hull lights, that shoot out with a 45 degree angle over the ship's hull.
Oh, and the females? Well, I actually answered that somewhere in this thread. Basically the pipes stand for oxygen intake and carbon dioxide outtake. The tubing is hidden under the male suits, as they are bulkier. That's the cheap explanation, really.
The oxygen tanks are retrieved from the algy chambers. The carbon dioxide reservoirs are fed to the algy. The agly are responsible for turning carbon dioxide back into oxygen. So the algy basically provide the Antediluvians with fresh air, foodpaste and a source of energy.
