We remove 'SWAT' armor, and just add a crate of the ERT armor they never use- also I'm gonna make their armor look less dumb.

Made it less 'big' on the shoulders.

Can you somehow have a toggle visor system so that it opens the face up to just below the eyes so security can go all Judge Dredd if they need to? Or just more reasonably a deployable visor in case people want to eat/drink/inhale without taking off the helmet?

Yeah, can just re-use riot helmet code.

I love the idea of SWAT armour being lower grade ERT armour or at least following the same design choices just with none of the hardsuit stuff the ERT have. Nice work!

I think SWAT armour + helmets fits xenos as well, so you might have to make the helmet sprite one-size fits all or something.

Alternatively, give SWAT armour it's own suit cycler in the armoury.

Or anywhere else.

With the gasmask you'll probably be wearing, as well as the ERT uniform.

Currently there's tactical armor, SWAT armor and ERT armor. ERT looks the best, and that's what I've tweaked. I suggest we kill the other two options, as it's nothing but armor bloat that isn't used.

Tactical Armor doesn't spawn on-station in crates, neither does ERT armor (other than backpacks in maintenance, occasionally, and in the Warehouse).

Only SWAT armor does, and this is a wonderful replacement for SWAT armor.

I know, but it's still unnecessary to have so many high tier armors, and then just never use them. So we can minimize it to one variant.

[Brutishcrab51]

Variation is good, not bad. I don't think we need to remove everything. Removing Tactical Armor from cargo in-favor of this SWAT armor replacement may not be a good idea.

 

SWAT armor spawns in 1 in 10 rounds, if that. If that. Can't be relied on, unless you want to replace Tactical Armor with this new armor (orderable via Cargo), as well as ERT armor (with color coding), and make it possible for a crate of this stuff to spawn (like SWAT armor does)
