Guest Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Well, a little incident today reminded me that pressurized, airtight hardsuits with internals running don't function as biosuits, aka., a a disease magically gets through an inch of metal plate or airtank. While it can be handwaved as a suit functionality, I think it's highly nonsensical it can't be used as a biosuit when needed. Make it so that they actually do the job of keeping the microbes out.
Killerhurtz Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 It would make sense to do that - OR at least make it possible to treat it, or wear something underneath, that serves that purpose (Bio-jumpsuit and bio-breathmask?) Though as far as handwaving goes, I'd picture it more like this: hardsuits could be designed to vent a little gas (the surplus CO2 that people breath out), and while that venting happens a design oversight causes, for a fraction of a second, a small backdraft as the valve closes, allowing microbes in over time) But yeah - having hardsuits be virus-proof (wait, aren't medical hardsuits virus-proof?) might be a good idea for a wide variety of reasons.
Guest Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 armor = list(melee = 30, bullet = 5, laser = 20,energy = 5, bomb = 25, bio = 100, rad = 50) All hardsuits have 100% bio resistance. It will not, however, stop viruses spread through touch (such as hugs). https://github.com/Aurorastation/Aurora/blob/4dd0449fb5b9668f6682d0aa4df30bb2a14fc0f5/code/modules/clothing/spacesuits/rig.dm
Guest Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Yeah, that should be fixed. It might need some more testing to see the full scope of the issues, though.
