Tali's ass >>>>>> Miranda's ass.

All approve?

I won't lie, I do approve of Miranda's black leather outfit

But as the overall package I think Tali wins.

Also a good reference but unfortunately I still can't quite figure out what they're going for.  Is that black area thick, shiny cloth?  A patterned leather? 

I have no idea, and that's the difficulty here.

I say leather, myself.

Iwould say a highly druable formfitting cloth.

Exactly - probably with a gore-tex lining or equivalent.

Rubber (or plastic) would be a great deal like the Army's old butyl rubber suits, used for chemical (actually, CBRW) warfare - they held in a lot of heat and also moisture.  The A/C system required would be large and power hungry.

Eh, true enough.

But Tali wears black leather all the time.

Plus, Miranda's ass is too ghetto for me.

Looks like a composite polymer to me, something like rubber bonded into different layers. Cloth wouldn't be durable enough, and cloth or leather would have too great a risk for contamination due to being porous. It needs to be something thick, but flexible, with little/no ability to "breathe" like cloth or leather would have. I'd imagine it's reinforced as well, maybe with a woven, metallic mesh between layers (that you wouldn't normally see). It'd need capillaries and bladders inside it for temperature regulation as well as waste removal and storage.

You know, you might be onto something.  I approve of this

Could very well be (a type of quarian) kevlar, actually.

Her whole suit looks rather militant, really. As if it's been designed for quarian strike-ops or other personnel.

Very much so. It's even better cause she also has the hips.

In essence, you're saying kevlar.  But notice that kevlar vests need an under-layer to wick away moisture, and they're not whole body.  Our Quarians would quickly succumb to heat exhaustion!

Gore-Tex lets water vapor out, but keeps water out. 

One could have a multi-layer arrangement, with something between two layers...that something would be packed with an antimicrobial substance.

Approved.

It has to be more than kevlar or ballistic material though because it needs to work in a vacuum and in extreme environments, such as space.

If you take away all the cloth, it actually looks a lot like kevlar.

The hex pattern just reminds me of the way they show molecular bonds and I believe carbon bonds like that though college chemistry for me was decades ago, at the dawn of calculators

Oh, I thought you were referring to the black, cloth-like area. 

I was leaning towards the hexagonal patterned area as being a type of flexible rubber/leather.

Looks woven to me.

[Someone With Mass]

Maybe Tali sewed that suit together by herself.

[Thundertactics]

There does appear to be a difference in the base suit material between normal quarians and Tali, though.

Normal quarians seem to use polymer and carbon fiber, Tali seems to have another layer of cloth and leather on top of that.

Well, if you take woven cloth and then add layers of carbon reenforcements onto it, the layers of carbon are actually quite thin to remain flexable so the underlying weave might possibly still be visible.
Edit* Gawd I dislike huge pics that break the pagesize.

My pic?
It seems to have resized properly here...

Or you could stop whining about it, and take it like a man.
