HOS hardsuit/General sec hardsuit update

[Vajra]

Was curious if Para had the OG sec HS and sure enough one of the CM's showed me on the discord that it still exists in the code. Think this could be brought back as a hardsuit for the HOS or as a general sprite change to the sec hardsuits? Feel like it stands a bit more as an actual sec looking suit then the current full black Deadspace one. Balance wise theres also only three Hardsuits in sec at the moment, two in the armory and one for the pilot. Seems kinda silly that the HOS wouldn't have one like the captain or RD, especially with the numerous atmos issues and how quickly the armory suits get swiped when shit hits the fan.

RD doesn't have a hardsuit on Para. And I don't see the need for the HoS to have one. For one thing, the HoS should be spending his time coordinating Sec and not chasing after criminals in space.

It does make a form of sense though for them to have their own HS, while yes their job isn't to be fighting people in space, in the event of an emergency a guaranteed hardsuit in their office keeps them alive longer to continue to coordinate the security forces.

HoS should not be wandering space at all, they are a very important head that has to organize the whole sec department and they also have officers and a pilot that can do that very well

Could you not argue something of the same sort for the captain, or the CMO?

Also yes, the RD does not have a hardsuit. They have teleport armor.

In case its necessary for hos to wear a space protection suit, there are plenty in EVA.

I dono, that argument  could be made for normal security to for the removal of the sec hardsuits in general"If there's a need for security to wear a space protection suit, there are plenty in EVA"

Security is the force you really would think would have proper equipment, their not military but 2 hardsuits always did seem low, and in the event of a complete cascade failure throughout the station, the HoS having their own hardsuit within their own office that is almost guaranteed to be there, decreases the chances of coordination failure.

The idea wasnt so much for space combat as it was the fairly common occurrence of the station getting holes blown into it, or more so the HOS's own office with no other hardsuit usually being available. Even then im mostly leaning on the design change as the suggestion more so then the need for a spare suit. 

Also, does sec even have EVA access at round start?

The HOS has EVA access. Officers do not.

Gotcha, well then id still like to offer up the suggestion of changing up the sec hardsuit sprite to the original one. Or maybe the pod pilot HS to make em a bit more unique.
