There are questions I've always wanted to ask about Eclipse Phase but they're so small that they're rather meaningless, and I'm sure other people have questions of a similar nature, so I thought I'd toss a few out there and see what answers I catch.
Biggest one on my mind is, why so many jumpsuits? It doesn't matter what science fiction media I look into, there's jumpsuits everywhere. Eclipse Phase, Star Trek, and Mass Effect, just to name three, seem to have jumpsuits on every character, no matter what the setting. Now, I can understand this in microgravity or what have you, but on, say, Mars or Venus, where is the reason for this? Or even on anything with 0.5g or so?

[hr] Ew. I think the reason they use a medvat as opposed to a printer is because it is hard to print something that keeps bleeding and screaming as it sticks halfway out of the printer. Medvats offer life support so you can grow a body. I would still let a player attach a printer to a severed limb and let them print that limb back out onto their body, but I'd also play up the whole process of stumpy's sensory nerves being reattached with no regard for the unfolding agony caused by half finished nerve endings firing for all they are worth.@-rep +1

[hr] Ah, sorry, I misread. I got distracted by the image of someone running around with their arm stump stuck in a grey box as a new arm was slowly printed onto them. Your way makes more sense.@-rep +1
