Yes, but I am trying to come up with explanations why the space armor is 45lb/$20000 when the combat armor is 30lb/$10000 so the difference is +15lb/+$10000.

Even with the large tank it does not get heavy enough if you use the basic Life-Support System.

The Extended Life-Support version actually comes close in weight and cost for the TL 10-12 versions(mostly because the power cells to operate the life support that long are heavy)
