# Description

Copying over the original description from #617 

> 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.
> 
> Vacsuit: Vacuum-Protection-Suit
> Hardsuit: Hardened Vacsuit
> Tacsuit: Tactical Combat Hardsuit
> 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.

Rewrote hardsuit descriptions to match the original request, but from
the POV of a character as suggested by @DangerRevolution. The
descriptions also have a rough template which goes along the lines of...

{Type of suit} produced by {corporation} + {optional visual attributes}
+ the label/tag says {hint at protective stats} + it feels {light or
heavy depending on speed stats}.

In the commits you can also find that I had lengthier but more fleshed
out descs for each of the hardsuits. But they went into detail your
character wouldn't feasibly be able to know at a glance (how do I know
this suit is made of plastitanium plating, and that the other has
ceramic TPS plates?). Feel free to ask for mix and matching between the
two.

**Also I moved the paramedic voidsuit to be a hardsuit, because for
whatever reason it wasn't one already.** Even had all of the properties
that a normal hardsuit does.
