Heya /profile/312-bootbie/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="312" href="/profile/312-bootbie/">@bootbie, I'll be grading your app today. Things like hazard suits like this are in our lore, but we haven't really had a sample app for one yet, so this I think will be helpful for anyone to use. To begin, yes, placing a personal teleporter on this would not work due to the massive energy requirements of it (and the cost of it; you wouldnt want that just for a standard hazard suit, since it'd cost too much). And it inflating would also not work due to it being a fabric (and inflating it around your body would be hard). So far, the solution I see is to simply have it be a suit. Maybe let it fold up nicely to look dandy - no harm in taking a few seconds to zip it on, right? Secondly, it'd be nice if you clarified its resistance to cuts to cuts from normal blades. As you likely know, we have vibroblades (also known as HF blades) in our lore which are around as adept at cutting as plasma. If a person desired, they could certainly wear a lightweight vest underneath the suit, so be sure to add that in along with clarifying its cutting resistance. Thirdly, I'm not quite sure what you mean by encrypting the data on the suit to make it not replicable. It does not take data to replicate something physical, it takes the object itself. Nor am I sure why you would store data on a suit unless it had a HUD visor, so do take that out. Finally, to address the attainability, suits like this are fairly common, it's just good now that we have an app for it. Thus I will request that you change it to open status. You can still sell it, though, and likely you'll be one of the only suppliers of Hazard Suits right now. Lemme know when you edit the app with these appropriate changes, and I'll look at it again. ~ Pending ~
The encryption would've been used if it had the teleportation abilities, because it stores the dimensions of the bio-signature. This way nobody can hack it easily to understand how this bio-scanning feature works so they could make more suits. But I've rid of the both of these aspects for you... It is easy to obtain but since May is the only one with the finished suit, it isn't widepsread. She did make a deal with Club Solus's owner and sold them simpler versions, but they aren't as resistant. Taking these new modifications/edits into account, the suits sold are just good quality suits. We discussed the suits there in OOC which prompted me to make this thread. They already agreed with you... I just figured such a futuristic setting as GC and Starbound would have greater technologies by now than just suits. But... I guess not. It's been edited.
