I like it. It's difficult to make a female design without resorting to make it look skimpy to attract attention. Plus I'm a push over when it comes to helmet designs. This one in particular is my personal favorite, along with the T,V, and triangle shaped visors.

I like the weapons a lot, but you know a moulded breastplate on heavy armour plating just looks kinda silly, right?

Damn! Are you trying to make us jealous?
The armour itself is impressive and stylish, like an update to a medievil suit of armour.
Only nitpick: it looks as if those cups are seperate pieces from the breastplate itself, which would seem a weak spot in its design. Or is that wishfull thinking....

not quite, but for today's operator its about as heavy as it gets. 24th century armour is largely form-fitted to allow for ease of movement in CQB environments, all without compromising thickness and coverage. Today's armour is far less advanced, and has less coverage. That being said, we both buy top-of-the-line when we can- higher-end ceramic plates that reduce the bulk and weight, and are easier to ship (due to travel through some countries- UAE, for example- its best to mail armour back and forth when on a contract and avoid getting tossed in jail for "arms smuggling", which in turn necessitates smaller, lighter plates), since 2/3rds of the engagements we get in as contractors are urban or vehicular CQB. Those higher-end plates tend to be more form fitting than, say E-SAPI plates from a military IBA or IOTV. Makes a world of difference in how they sit and how well we can move.
All of that being said, in the end the pic is form-fitted to a woman because my wife demanded- and I quote- "boobs"
