furrycactus Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 Pretty much what it says on the tin. It'd be nice if race-specific electrical gloves were available to engineers in the xenowear tab, because otherwise they're forced to take a normal pair of insulated gloves and snip the fingertips off. Aside from the fact that the term "mangled insulated gloves" is kind of ugly, I mean... the IC aspect of it is pretty absurd. Insulated gloves are supposed to insulate your hands so you can deal with high voltage wires without turning extra crispy, but it's the norm and completely required of anyone not human to cut the fingertips off of their gloves to wear them, which really is plain dangerous, unless you go to the trouble of specifically ordering a suitable pair from cargo. There are other items in the loadout that you won't spawn in with unless you're working a certain job. Sec/Eng/Med webbing and drop pouches for instance. It doesn't seem like it'd be a stretch to provide Tajaran/Unathi/Vaurca electrical gloves to Engineers under the xenowear loadout. Or even just mapping in a box in engineering with some spare xeno gloves.
Saudus Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 Both the mapping and loadout options sound good and reasonable. +1
FreshRefreshments Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 +1. At the very least, a locker with gloves in them? It wouldnt be hard to implement, I assume, and IC it would be showing that NT does indeed recognize that Xenos work in their Engineering department.
Lohikar Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 Normal engineers aren't able to get insulated gloves until they get to engineering, and so the same should apply to xenos. Shouldn't go in loadout, regardless of job lock. Best solution is probably just a locker or crate in engineering somewhere.

In that case, yeah, a locker would be absolutely fantastic. Especially given that Security already provides some xenowear for their officers with a locker.
Pratepresidenten Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 Tajaran/Unathi electrical gloves can be ordered from cargo
furrycactus Posted July 1, 2018 Author Posted July 1, 2018 Tajaran/Unathi electrical gloves can be ordered from cargo Yes they can be, but I'm saying that it seems strange from an in character perspective that taj/unathi engineers are expected to buy their own gloves, during every single shift, instead of them being provided, or being blatantly unsafe with regular gloves.

Indeed. OSHA would have a field day with Aurora2 as it is. Do we even have an OSHA representative aboard?
Trazz666 Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 Capitalist corporations fear 1 thing: having to pay employees when it can be avoided. Lawsuits due to failure to supply proper safety equipment, or workers comp for injuries sustained on the job is what keep capitalists up at night (lol jk, we all know evil sleeps during the day). It would make sense for NT to stock xeno gloves on station. It makes even more sense for xenos to be allowed to bring their own from off-station. Mangled gloves should also cause electric burns. Because duh. They're shredded, why wouldn't they?
Alberyk Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 There is an alternative to this: https://github.com/Aurorastation/Aurora.3/pull/5011 Adding a pair of unathi and tajaran gloves to the eletric/ce cabinet, with the downside of cutting glove's tips having a clear downside.
