canon35 Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 Seeing as how you can make weapons out of rods, cables, and metal, you should be able to construct armour. Chest Armour: Constructable by taking a steel sheet, use a welder on it to weld 2 holes into it. You would then have to do the same to a 2nd plate. Afterwards, use cables on both welded plates and put the 2 cabled plates togather to create a armour vest. Could be done with plastic, steel, and plasteel which would provide better armour ratings in such order.
Jboy2000000 Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 Steel and Plasteel should slow the wearer down, and while plastic wouldn't, it should also offer little protection.
Filthyfrankster Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 Knowing the community, This could lead to a sudden disappearance of valuable plasteel/metal that the station could damn well use for things that are not antag-hunting. So nay on the armor, Because a few people running amock in said makeshift armor would lead to it being taken away, or people rushing area's like EVA or robotics to jack the metal there.

While yes, that could be a issue if it was implemented, we already have constructable weapons and there isn't that big a issue with people doing so for them. Chances are, like with constructable weapons, most people won't make them.

Guest Menown Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 This is a reminder that within fifteen minutes of adding the baseball bats, Mirkolo murdered somebody with one as a non-antag. If people want to abuse things, they will. I'm up for the armor, but it'll have to have downsides. I can't see it fitting in a satchel or a backpack, but I can see it slowing you down a bit, probably by the same margin of the heavy officer vest.
