GB, Good ideas! I say this because they are very similar to ours. The 6 available cultures have been finalized: Western European, Greco-Roman, Chinese, Japanese, Egyptian, and Central American. The Persian and Babylonian Empires were considered, but ended up rolled into the Egyptian. The Central American culture was originally the Mayan Empire. The Ottoman Empire was considered and then dropped. We had to limit the designs , so lost some good potential. Maybe in an expansion.

All of the design work for the base (infantry) armor is complete. Now we are focused on a couple of representative examples of female armor and of the "class" armor variations.

As for Flash Gordon, I have another concept simmering in the back of my mind: Sky Marshalls!

Not yet. This was a beautiful weekend for us, so I spent most of it on the golf course. I will get to it this week.

One of the many things we are still discussing. There will be ranged energy weapons, area of effect weapons, and, of course, energy blades. The blades are each tailored to the culture. Some will have dual blades, and the CA Knight will carry a "stone" axe/club. The Egyptian blade looks more like a scythe.
