Head of Security Voidsuit

[kyres1]

So someone brought up how, the head of security, despite being hugely important in all sorts of EVA things from drills to away missions, has no special voidsuit. The captain has their own, the chief engineer and director have hard suits, and the head of personnel and chief medical officer rarely have an excuse to go EVA to begin with. During EVA operations, the head of security is forced to take one of the two voidsuits laying in EVA if they want any form of armor in EVA or designation that they're security, much less the head of security. That's kinda silly.

So I sprited an entire species set for a head of security voidsuit. Presumably, its stats would be the same as if not slightly better than those of the normal security voidsuits.

 

 

I'm open to respriting these in their entirety as according to feedback. As it stands though I'm happy with the way they turned out.

Edit : Tajaran side sprites redone.

Deviates a bit too much from the base Security Voidsuit. I think, given this is Security we're talking about, even the HoS's suit would be pretty utilitarian. So I ought to be a more armored variant of the base suit with gold highlights. Or, you could sprite a new Security Voidsuit. The Hazard suit is also a Security suit, given it is designed the same. Could sprite that too. But over all, uniformity and utilitarianism is key for Security. The voidsuits ought to be similar, only difference being visible rank, or extra armor.

The colors are the same save for the gold trim and lacking blue shoulder/tail/knee highlights.

The idea and the voidsuit look good to me, really. And who doesn't want to rush the HoS' office to snatch that snazzy thing?

[AmoryBlaine]

Actually thinking a bit more, maybeought to just give them,the HoS, a repainted ERT rig or something. [mention]kyres1[/mention]

Edited: Fixed that wording. Think before typing, kids.

those sprites are lit as fuck

granted the tajaran one is, as you've said, not as fantastic

[Faris]

Not gonna lie, I've always wished for a HoS hardsuit since I just love the concept of hardsuits as a whole, but I do understand the issue in terms of balance. Though I think a voidsuit is not an issue.

I gave a few pointers to Kyres over this, the gold outline was in response to the HoS uniforms which some have a gold outline to it.

[AmoryBlaine]

I would hope that whatever is given specifically to whitelisted command players, would be balanced by said players Really, we ought to be able to trust Command players to be given anything without them using it to smite everything that stands against them without question. What I mean is, give them a Voidsuit, a Hardsuit, hell, even a Mechsuit. But overall they should still be doing what they do already which is leading and staying away from the fighting unless they are absolutely needed.

i also got an early view of it from kyres and loved the idea in general. would approve

[geeves]

i love it, it looks great, sec only having two voidsuits is pretty dumb too, but yes. this good.

[Coalf]

Now color it green and gray so I can rip and tear.

[Kaed]

I feel like it should have some blue on it, because that's the sec color. This black and gold thing doesn't feel like it's part of the security department.

[Bauser]

Navy blue & gold would make it match the HoS suit and fit with the other security uniforms

[Evandorf]

I mean..... I would love to have the bull-horned sprite on the unathi suit so I don't have to make excuses for stealing the Captain's....

Please.

[Itanimulli]

HoS hardsuit makes sense as long as it comes equipped with zero options in terms of weaponry. Give it thrusters and leg actuators. That's literally all it needs to be viable. I'm also sure the armor value can be changed according to balance needs.

It'd be pretty neat to have, and pretty much every department has an equivalent. This is the HEAD of SECURITY we're talking about, too, so most of the time this will be in the hands of whitelisted, responsible players.
