Vacc Suits
Vacc Suits are very useful items to have on a starship. They allow you to survive in case of sudden decompression as a result of a hull breach, or if life support fails. They also allow you to explore areas with little atmosphere or other harsh conditions. Furthermore, they provide decent armour. If you have the Vacc Suit skill, I'd get the following:
GOOD OPTION: TL 12 Boarding Vacc Suit. Protection +13, Cr24,000, Requires Vacc Suit 1
BUDGET OPTION: TL 10 Vacc Suit. Protection +8, Cr11,000, Requires Vacc Suit 0
Vacc Suits have integrated devices built into them!
Cloth Armour
Cloth Armour at TL 12 can be worn UNDER any other armour or act as normal clothes. When worn under other armour, its +4 protection STACKS with your other armour. For the price of Cr750, it is worth it!
TL 12 Cloth Armour, Protection +4, Cr750, No Skill required.
Addons
Embedded Computer Systems: Did you know that Armour can boost your skills? With the electronics suite in your Vacc Suit, you can run expert software that assists you in specific tasks it's programmed for. Expert-X gives DM+X. If you do not have that skill, it cancels out the -3 penalty for being untrained! Only works for INT and EDU based skills.
Expert-1 plus Intelligent Interface: Cr1,100
You'd need the TL 12 Vacc Suit to run this.
Magnetic Grapples: This allows you to walk normally in low or zero gravity environments. Only costs Cr100!
Self Sealing: This is a GREAT feature to get on any Vacc suit. For Cr2000, you can upgrade your Vacc suit to seal any holes. Without it, if you take damage in space, you can have a very bad day.
