Does zero-G Combat require Zero G Adaption

[themink]

From the rules, it seems clear that it doesn't - However this seems very strange to me.

I think I will be making a house rule that adaption is required first (I don't imagine anyone would spend the time training to fight, without training to walk as well)

It can ake sense if you look at it fromt he point of view that Zero-G Adaption covers all aspects of moving and working in zero/trace-G environments, where as Zero-G Combat is purely geared towards bracing techniques for firing weapons and swinging punches/kicks, not getting tot he combat inthe first place. A more limited, but more effective (bigger modifier reduction), training program.

That said, I can see your point of view too, and either is equally valid.

I'd make the additional change that the Vac Suit feat is *not* required since Zero G combat can occur in situations where there is no gravity, but air is present (grav plates off for whatever reason or there are no grav plates (TL 7-8 installation).

I think they place Vac suit as a prerequesite, as most people who hang out in Low/Zero-G environments need a Vac Suit. I agree with removing the restriction, though, as low-G planets exist with an atmosphere, so it makes sense to be able to take the Feat without Vac Suit first.
