MK 50 compression suits for the Almayer.

Post by Slraptor » 21 May 2017, 15:51

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Change all the Red Nasa suits in engineering into MK.50 Compression suits.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): It would add immersion within the server for when the UPP attacked a few days ago during a round the engineers dawned there red nasa suits to repair the breach. Besides the fact the engineers were consistently underfire during this time, Several marines stated in OOC "Does nasa even still exist?" Having the compression suit would increase immersion as that is the suit the USMC and WY used during the 2170's. This passage

"For low pressure operations, one of the most commonly used suits in service was the Mk.50 Compression suit. The suit consists of an inner thermal regulation garment and two outer layers of tight fitting elastic fabric with an airtight covering to compress the wearer's body against the effects of low pressure. No decompression period is required before donning the suit, and they provide greater freedom of movement than a pressure suit. Furthermore, without the need to maintain suit pressure, less breathable gas needs to be carried and life support packs can be considerably lighter. However, the suits take longer to put on than pressure suits, are less comfortable over long durations and provide no protection against high pressures.[3]
Because the Mk.50 is worn so tight, many items of standard Marine equipment can be adjusted to fit over them. Special BDUs printed with a high contrast pattern are used on airless worlds. The life support pack is clipped to the back of an M3 armor vest and connects directly to the helmet and thermal regulation suit. Inside the helmet a Marine wears a cloth cover, to which is attached a Head Mounted Sight."


show's how important this suit was to the USMC and that they would use it in low pressure situation when ever it called.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): A little more protection for MT's repairing leaks, Non-lore breaking outfit, Don't look like a giant red sore thumb.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Just replace the suits in in the suit lockers.

That one old man that USED to run around as Engineer building retarded table forts and developing relationships on a questionable level with sentry turrets. Now I run around as someone equally stupid, doing equally stupid shit as a Medic. Oh and Pookie, that's also me.

http://prntscr.com/grdigl I totally succeeded in that btw, it was a badass kick-flip.

Yes, this would make more sense unless it's already happened and I'm really just stupid. +1
