question: are the Knight Saber hardsuits resistent to 
extreme temperatures?  Does the RPG guidebook have
anything to day on the matter?

IIRC (I haven't unearthed that particular book from my moving boxes yet), it
says they are NBC suits (nuclear, biological, chemical). As such, I'd assume
they are sealed systems. Don't have the slightest idea how well they'd
protect the wearer from temperature extremes though.

What are the suits made of, does anyone have that reference?  If it gets
cold enough, does it get brittle?

The BGC RPG lists the armor as ceramic and alloy (no more specific than
that) and is resistant to heat and pressure changes. I'd think the cold/
ice would affect internal systems/pilot first.
