I theorized and confirmed that accesories with the "sealed" tag will protect from the dangers of space!  Thus, I created the following "accessory set" so players need not wear space suits any longer!

Code: [Select]
Set
name <Emergency Survival Shell (ESS) [set]>
desc <A sealed environment wearable over standard clothing.>
Category <CLOTHING SPACE ESSENTIAL>
Factions <GENERAL>
Legality -25
inv
HeadHarness 1
name <Sealed Head Shell>
desc <This shell goes over the head and helmet.>
Category <CLOTHING SPACE>
SDL_PORTRAIT <item_lightspacehelm.png>
Sealed

BodyHarness 1
name <Center Survival Shell>
desc <This shell covers the torso.>
Category <CLOTHING SPACE>
Sealed
sub
SpaceFlight 1
end

ArmHarness 1
name <Survival Glove>
desc <This thin glove covers the arm.>
Category <CLOTHING SPACE>
Sealed

LegHarness 1
name <Survival Legging>
desc <These leggings protect from the dangers of space.>
Category <CLOTHING SPACE>
Sealed

ArmHarness 1
name <Survival Glove>
desc <This glove covers the arm.>
Category <CLOTHING SPACE>
Sealed

LegHarness 1
name <Survival Legging>
desc <These leggings protect from the dangers of space.>
Category <CLOTHING SPACE>
Sealed
end

Interesting, I like it. Maybe room for some advanced versions with built in memo/phone/etc. functionality, possibly even a small computer? How much of the in-game armor (especially the good stuff) isn't already sealed, anyway? Perhaps some new armor sets to take advantage of the new accessories?

The problem with sealed clothing like this is that it can't be destroyed, which makes it way better than armor. This is why there's no sealed clothing currently in the game. In a future release, I will probably set harnesses so that  they can be destroyed.

I was actually thinking of an advanced version with phone, memo, batteries, and computer functions.  Once JH makes harnesses destructable, I can even see strap-on melee weapons, guns, lasers, etc.  It would be cheating to do before harnesses are destructable.

As to armor sets to take advantage of the new accessories, I was planning on a new set of "junk" items for use with robots.  UP-massed guns, armor, computers, and power sources.  Most players would be unable to use such items, but robots have far better weight carrying capacity (assuming that feature is still functioning), and more mass actually makes components cheaper for making robots (and at the very least does not hurt the making of robots).  Since robots do not need sealed armor, none of the "junk" armor will be sealed.

Is the non-destructability of harness really an exploit for sealed accessories?  To the best of my knowledge, sealed armor reduced to zero durability still counts as sealed, and does not lead to PC death, and so sealed accessories simply replicates already-destroyed armor.

nope, sealed armor that gets down to zero is holed and you start asphyxiating.  Lost a few lancemates that way. (over time, not like, all at once.)

Its generally for that reason that I have my lance carry 2 spare spacesuits per person when doing personal scale. It gets quite bothersome otherwise.

Oops, I guess I fixed it already. Well that's one thing less to do...

Random note, and this seems like a good place for it, MUGL or someone should produce a decently high end light powered armor suit in the class 2 range for the acrobatics inclined.  Just an, in my opinion, hole in the available progression compared to possible character styles and I like to fill those.
