I don't know. That depends entirely on how much you want to distinguish things.

I'm wondering if we should make SCUBA modern tiny water vehicle and vac suit futuristic tiny space vehicle and just leave zero g ops and swimming as is.
What do people say?

Outside of small things like being able to breath, you can swim in water (swim) or air (zero g) without a suit, so doing so with a suit properly could be a separate thing. However, again I bring up Parachute, tiny modern air (ignoring tandem jumps). You can maneouver in air without a parachute, but if you want to do better than just aiming for the nearest haypile, you better have a chute-suit for it.

True and we do also have (well, there exists within the game world) a variant that is tiny futuristic air.
So potential changes on the table would include:
SCUBA modern tiny water vehicle vac suit futuristic tiny space vehicle Parachute, tiny modern air
Other thoughts?
(BTW: I am seriously also considering lumping all pistol type weapons together - be they black powder, laser, blaster, pistol crossbow, all rifle type weapons etc.) But let's work on this other part first.

I do remember mentioning to you about parachuting and you said you didn't want to lump that into this. So I'm for that idea.
As for the pistols – you can separate them into three categories if you like. Small (d4-d6), Medium (d8-d10), Heavy (d12+). That will cover all types of pistols (laser, slug, sonic, etc).

Hang glider would also be tiny modern air?

I think it might be. Multiple things can be in the same category. Though I might think of hang glider as small rather than tiny?
Edit: Even on the sheet it is under primitive, small air.

Small sounds about right. Tiny could be those gliding suits that you wear… Whatever they're called. The ones that make you look like a flying squirrel.

True but IRL they don't work worth a shit. Google it.

Nope. It looks super cool, granted but I was talking about practicality. From google:
So we have a freefall of about 9000 ft (3km). At a glide-ratio of 2.5:1, this means we can cover about 7.5 km of distance. This distance can be even further if we are flying with the wind (downwind). Stamina is also a great factor, as it takes quite a bit of muscle strength to fly a wingsuit to its full capacity.Dec 18, 2018
So basically you can get 2.5 distance to amount fallen. Great if you want to 'fall with style' - bad if you want to actually cover much distance. I suppose it would be just the thing to quickly get off a mountain - despite the stupidly high mortality rate - but not great for much else.

If nothing else, you don't need a special skill to ride those bicycles in the Village
