Jkruse your mesh is coming along very well, thank you for taking the time to create what so many people here would like to see come to fruition.

cheers, lukas.

Bump to show we still care.

Just wondering if this going to be made into reality, because I would love to see it happen.

I think that the Advanced power armor would be cool to have in game. But, all I can do is modify stats in the geck.

nice, too see this executed at last xD, too much debte over somethingso stupid.

To me the way the power armor looks like the player has on homemade armor pieced together from various appliances.

I like the coyote reflex armor, but it needs to feminized as well.

The above does whats asked, more or less. With a retexture and small tweaks could give what you want.

Sorry if I am long winded but I have actually studied at university on this sort of question in relationship to mass media and multimedia. Anyway I have to justify all that spent money somehow.

I think the whole debate can be seen as fairly meaningless because in the end it is going to go nowhere as it chases its own tail endlessly. From the start its based on the idea of feminine armour and from experience and study I can tell you that nobody has reached final agreement on just what 'feminine' actually means.

Lets face it, people are simply not going to agree and people are going to feel offended so why not a compromise way of looking at the matter? Firstly the basic way.

As long as one has a game modded so as to keep some kind of inner logic that pleases one, then go for it! Explanation in order.

Player A wants 'traditional canon' game and doesn't agree with feminized armor. Fits right in a game that doesn't allow for any mods that go against the same canon.

Player B wants feminized armour but not sexually explicit. Shape is generally the same but varied enough so that a female armoured figure, even a power armoured figure, can be quickly picked from a group of B-of-S. Same game would most likely have other mods that bend but do not all the way break the canon rules.

Then lets take possible Player C.
Doesn't give a damn and just wants a good playable game though probably one that fits into some personal vision of the game.
Feminized armour could then be a big pink bunny rabbit with long deadly white teeth.
Pornographic with transparent parts.
Painted with radical feminist anti-men slogans and with a big set of special cutting blades.
Modeled after fine Paris Ladies fashions of the 1950s.
Shaped like a anime Japanese schoolgirl.

Point is that the game holds many possibilities and a single player might choose to alternate between more or less pure cannon games (I have done so with Oblivion!)

Another, perhaps more important issue, is the selective use of non cannon stuff.

Women power armour that is obviously, even over obviously, worn by women might be accepted as part of an exotic breakaway faction of the B-of-S but not so by women members of the main B-of-S. The extreme armour then becomes a symbol of the breakaway faction just as extreme male armour might with false six-pack shaped torso plating. (Don't laugh for such male armour can be found in real history)
If there was a Sisterhood of Steel, what sort of power armour would they choose to use?

One might be offended at the idea of women walking around in sexually slinky clothes but if one actually creates a poor district in a city as a red light zone such makes more sense. The prostitutes are advertising their business with out giving too much away. The clothes are restricted to certain environments that either one does not add as a mod or, if in game, can choose not to go there.

Another point is that, for example, female raiders while not out to be pornographic surely are not the most modest of people and are not really going to want to look nicely feminine. Blood and spikes plus exposed midriffs spattered with more blood is the in thing!

As for bunny rabbit shaped power armour, it might be found in an old theme park where insane survivors use animal mascot suits to fight with. In a made environment like that a mad looking power suit makes logical sense.

Having gone on for a while I will finish by saying that in the end it is only a game and that the very best immersion that one can experience is enjoyment of playing it.

Probably could have said the last bit with out all the other stuff but, being an intellectual, I can't help myself.

Anyway, hope you got something positive from all those words I wrote.

(Actually wasn't much for a post-grad student (Australian term) who once did a 10,000 word assignment and didn't get much sleep for about six months.)

That sums it up. If a player wants a canon game then he or she doesn't have to download a mod if it doesn't fit into his or her ideal game.
But, people like me who can only modify stats in game and have no clue how to edit meshes or the textures, because we don't have the software or knowledge.

There are some really talented people out there who make some awesome stuff for themselves and for peoples requests.
I have both oblivion and morrowind.

All I think that should be done to the armor is to tweak it to make it look realisticly feminine.
