More Star Frontiers conversions (aka: humor me...)

To squeeze into tight places, you can use Flexibility: Double Jointed (pg. B56). I would also add Extra-Flexible (pg. B53) to all Dralasite arms.

For no bones to break, you can use Injury Tolerance: Unbreakable Bones from Powers pg. 53. Add the modifier Cosmic - crippled limbs only last until a new limb can be regrown +50% and you should be good to go. A more accurate build for Dralasite limb powers might be Regrowth (with a limitation for limbs only) plus Regeneration (with a limitation of only for regrowth). However, this ends up costing a LOT!

Under the Damage Resistance advantage, it lists the rules for Ablative and Semi-Ablative armor. Just make it a house rule that in your GURPS Star Frontiers game all armor is Semi-Ablative. This should address Fred Bracklin's earlier word of caution. Or make all armor fully ablative, but this makes low tech armor like mail and plate rather wonky. Or maybe just "soft" armor is semi-ablative (or fully ablative) - like cloth armor, Kevlar, and skein (or albedo for lasers, and so on) while a clamshell cuirass or suit of plates acts like normal.
