There is even an extended life support system should you feel that some of the suits require extended periods of time on the surface of Mars. Let me know if you want me to try and design a Mars suit using those rules and email it to you. You have my private email I presume. If not, simply click on my name at the Forums and send me an email that way. I've already got a spreadsheet that lets me design armor for any given tech level (I picked up all three articles and created the spreadsheet such it will handle all TLs in GURPS).

I forget if it addresses this, but if you want to use this to create vacuum suits that
don't provide DR, I'd say building DR 0.5 armor would suffice. That's DR 0.5 against crushing - a bioplas vacuum suit would actually provide a bit of protection against pi and burn (ditto for kevlar vs pi and cut). Of course, even if the vacuum suits aren't meant for combat, designing them with higher DR than this can be a worthwhile endeavor, simply because that means they are difficult to compromise in an accident.
