Description
This is a significantly pared down version of #492
Focusing only on a small category of item descriptions just to get the ball rolling.
Space Station 14 is actually missing the other two suit-names that were at one point present and commonplace in SS13. The term "Hardsuit" is itself one of three classifications of space suit, based on a book series that I read as a teenager. The full list is as follows.
Vacsuits are a catch-all shorthand for civilian space suits. They offer no actual protection from anything other than the cold void.
Hardsuits are a form of "Up-armored" vacsuit, and are more like industrial PPE in space. You wear a hardsuit because it's there to protect you while you're welding, shipbreaking, asteroid mining, and so on.
Tacsuits are a variant on the idea of a hardsuit, but instead of having an industrial purpose, they are explicitly for military purposes, and aren't for civilian use at all.
I've opened this up on draft because Mocho was asking to help me with it.
Generally, the hardsuits need to be explicitly associated with a specific in-universe corporation. With descriptions changed to better suit a hypothetical setting that we'd wish to write.
For instance, much of the equipment used by Security would likely be products of Five-Points-Armory, a corporation that NT prefers to buy their security equipment from for the simple fact that it's cheap, yet gets the job done.
