Remove meson goggles

[Abbysynth]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Remove mesons entirely. All they do is add a green overlay and protect your eyes from the SM.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Remove a whole ton of spawned items that do nothing and nobody wears.

Eh, I think if the overlay was removed, they'd be pretty good. Same with the other optics, the red one that specs wear is almost unusable because of the annoying red overlay.

How will people protect their eyes from the SM?

How will people protect their eyes from the SM?

Maybe we could have a radiation suit or something that looks like this

Don't look at it. *Cue laugh track*

Or perhaps we could get Cybernetic Eyes?

[Abbysynth]

Why even have the eye damage from the SM at all? The meson goggles do not show underlying terrain any more, making them completely useless to wear (even harmful, if you try to weld with them all it will blind you). Mehhh. It is NOT the same as the Scout Sight or M56 sight, which have full terrain vision.

I've logged in especially for this: Basically, mesons are only useful for the SM as of currently. They're everywhere, even in engi vendors, but they aren't useful in ANY OTHER WAYS as they'll only prevent radiation damage to the eyes and blindness from it (methink).

There should be a way to use them for other purposes, like see'ing electrical currents (Thus showing wires) or being a research component to make them something better, untill then it'd be best we'd apply their benefits to radsuit headwear as they only take welding google space and/or perturb vision. Imo, they're too nerfed.

PS: Don't remove them without granting engies a way to prevent SM damage to their eyes... Well actually--! (BRB boarding windows to prevent Noah from lynching me).
Also, welding googles are really similar to nuclear protection eyewear, at that point I'd just warrent their use to protect the wearer simply saying "Well we put lead-lining on the glass".

How about we remove meson goggles but make the radiation suit mask "lens" the meson goggles?

It already has the meson green tint to the mask shield.

Probably going to stay around for now until we can get some replacement. They still do protect from the SM.
