| Dec 1 at 13:18 | comment | added | g s | A human controlling a coffin-sized rocket ship with a few manipulator arms loses a lot of strength and functionality. A worm controlling a worm-coffin rocket ship with a few manipulator arms is going to gain a lot of strength and functionality. It's worth considering whether they'd even want something that looks like a worm space suit if we could wizard one up for them, as opposed to said tiny rocket ship with manipulator arms that is stronger, capable of more complex grabbing and manipulating, and a zillion times faster than their unsuited bodies. | |

| Nov 30 at 2:37 | comment | added | elemtilas | Still need to address the source of their technology. I would argue that something the size and overall composition of a common garden slug won't be able to construct a space ship and thus wouldn't need a space suit. If you're arguing that that Vermoids are crew on someone else's ship, then you would have a viable question. | |

| Nov 30 at 2:33 | comment | added | Ichthys King | @elemtilas They cannot tolerate unpressurised places without a spacesuit, which is why they need to wear a spacesuit while moving through these places | |
| Nov 30 at 2:31 | comment | added | JBH | That's a no, unless the earthworms in your area are more spry than those in mine. | |
| Nov 30 at 2:28 | comment | added | Ichthys King | @JBH They can spring about (in microgravity) to the same degree that an earthworm could | |
| Nov 30 at 2:25 | comment | added | elemtilas | When you say the Vermoids have modern human level tech, how do you explain them arriving at that level? Or are they simply using tech created by others? I.e., humans? | |

| Nov 30 at 2:17 | comment | added | JBH | How small are the Vermoid, themvelves? Prehensile tentacles of 2cm (0.79 in) is close to useless in the best of cases, but if the Vermoid are a meter long, they're really useless. Can the Vermoid spring, or must they move like worms? Because in an unpressurized environment without the ability to grab-and-swing or spring, everybody just sits there flailing about (not just worms). Unless they have jets? In which case their space suits look remarkably like sleeping bags. | |
