Jumpsuits

Having a jumpsuit or other form of apparel is extremely important. In addition to ensuring you aren't slapped with a public nudity charge, these clothes provide a slot for your ID and PDA. Also allows you to store items in pockets or wear a wide variety of belts. The jumpsuit is also useful in identifying your department of choice at a glance, and can be used as part of a disguise. Also useful for judging people on their fashion choices.

In addition, almost all jumpsuits have a full suite of sensors that can be toggled and adjusted by right-clicking on it. They can give out data to the bridge and medical consoles including your location, your health, and your mortality. Used by the Chief Medical Officer and the paramedic to locate you when you inevitably go missing.

Depending on how high you set yours, more information will be available to Crew Monitoring Consoles.

1. Off: You don't appear on the medical monitors. Useful if security or another dubious creature is looking for you.
2. Binary Life Signs: Indicates if you are alive or deceased. The name shown on the monitor is the same one on the ID that is being worn. If no ID is worn, your will name will be displayed as 'Unknown'.
3. Vital Tracker: Displays what your vitals are. Specifies amount of damage taken and what kind of damage was influcted (i.e. suffocation, toxin, burn, and brute).
4. Tracking Beacon: The maximum sensor level. Informs anyone who wants to track you your precise location on the station, your relative coordinates, and the information provided by the other two proceeding sensor levels.

Kinds of Jumpsuits

Item	Description

Formal Suit	formal suits
Hawaiian Wear	For the spess tourist on the go.
Victorian Wear	For the not so subtle history buffs and LARPers alike.
Costumes	For the creative, quirky, and downright antagonistic.
Pants	Can include everything from sweatpants to stylish jeans. Just know that they don't come with a top. It's recommended to wear a jacket/hoodie along with it, and probably an undershirt for good measure
Tactical Turtleneck	Many Syndicate operatives and wannabe cool dudes and dudettes use these, including Nuclear Agents and the SIT. A nice fit, yet suspicious-looking turtleneck. Want the "License to Kill" vibe? This is your go to.
Tacticool Turtleneck	The Great Value Tactical Turtleneck made for the Great Value operative. Still a snazzy fit and is quite cozy. Has no suit sensors attached to it, for when you are (or think you are) too badass to live.
Wizard Robe	An iconic blue magical robe worn by the Space Wizard Federation. Required for Wizards to reach their full potential. Feels soft and magical to the touch.

External Wear

Exosuits are items that can be worn over your jumpsuit in the Exosuit Slot. Some of them contain additional pockets you can fit small items in.

Item	Description
Suit Jacket	Looks pretty snazzy and lets people know you mean business. Can hold two items in the suit jacket pockets.
Lab Coat	All Scientists and most Medical Doctors start with this. Can hold two items.
Bio Suit	The Bio Suit, short for bio-hazardous suit, protects from direct exposure to chemicals and disease. Wearing one increases your immunity and is one more barrier between you and the chemist.
EVA Suit	The Extra-Vehicular Activity (EVA) Suit is worn to keep a person alive in the harsh environment of outer space, vacuums, and extreme temperatures.
Body Armor	Standard armor for all Security Officers, this vest provides decent protection from blunt-force trauma, as well as ballistic and laser damage. The detective has their own personal armor vest in their closet, which is functionally identical.
Security Jackets	Offers less than half the protection of standard security armor, but covers the arms as well as the torso. Not to mention the fact that your fashion level at least doubles with one of these babies.
Detective's Coat	The perfect noir coat for the aspiring private eye, this coat provides surprisingly decent protection. Not as strong as the standard armor, but stronger than a standard security jacket.
Riot Suit	Provides moderate protection against blunt-force trauma and other forms of melee, but otherwise provides little to no protection.
Ablative Armor	Provides Substantial protection from lasers and energy damage to the chest, as well as a 40% chance to deflect energy-based projectiles to any area of the body. Provides very mild protection against brute and ballistic damage.
Bulletproof Vest	Provides substantial protection from ballistic damage, as well as moderate protection against explosives. Provides mild protection against brute, laser, and energy damage as well.

Warden's Jacket	Provides decent protection from brute, bomb, and laser damage, as well as mild protection from energy and ballistic damage.
Head of Security's Armored Trenchoat	Provides decent protection from lasers, ballistics, brute damage, and explosives. Provides very mild protection from energy damage. When paired with the corresponding hat and gas mask, gives a +200% bonus to appearance and a -50% reduction to charisma.
Security Hardsuit	Provides complete protection against bio-hazards and environmental hazards, such as the void of space and high-pressure environments. Provides moderate protection from radiation, brute, and laser damage, as well as mild protection from ballistics, energy, and explosives.

Advanced Hardsuit	Offers complete protection from radiation, fire, and the cold void of space, as well as near-complete protection from acid. Offers moderate protection from melee and explosives, as well as mild protection from lasers, ballistics, and energy damage.
Engineering Hardsuit	Offers complete protection from the black abyss of space, considerable protection from over pressure as well as substantial protection from acid and radiation. Not as good as the atmospheric hardsuit for protection against thermal or pressure hazards, but will work in a pinch. Provides moderate melee protection and mild protection against lasers, ballistics, explosives, and energy damage.
Hazard Vest	Offers pocket slots for tools, flashlights, or internals tanks. In addition, it offers all around mild protection. Also used to identify yourself as an official member of the Greytide Militia.
Firesuit	Provides substantial protection from extreme heat and open flame, especially when paired with the firefighter's helmet. Slows the user down substantially.
Radiation Suit	Provides complete protection from radioactive contamination when paired with the radiation hood. A must-have for working on the Supermatter Engine.
Straight Jacket	Binds the wearer's arms, removing all use of their hands, similar to being handcuffed but without the ability to remove it. Mainly issued to Security and the Psychiatrist.
Blood-Red Hardsuit	Provides complete protection from biohazards and the unforgiving black pool of space. Provides moderate protection from all kinds of damage except for energy, which only has mild protection.
Elite Syndicate Hardsuit	Provides complete protection from biohazards and the cold embrace of the void. Provides substantial protection against all forms of damage except for energy, which has moderate protection.
Shielded Syndicate Hardsuit	Functionally and cosmetically identical to the Blood-Red Hardsuit, but with a shield that can absorb three bullets in a short time. This shield recharges automatically over time, and can hypothetically deflect an infinite amount of projectiles.
Mining Hardsuit	A hardsuit made for Miners, coming in at the steep price of 2000 mining points and offering additional protection over the standard explorer's suit, as well as the ability to install a jetpack.
Captain's Carapace	An ornately-crafted armor vest designated for the captain of the station. The vest provides moderate protection from brute damage, bullet wounds, and laser projectiles, as well as minor protection from energy-based attacks and explosives, near-complete protection from acid, and complete fireproofing.
Captain's Parade Jacket	For all intents and purposes, the parade jacket offers identical protection as the carapace, but has exponentially more style.
Reactive Teleport Armor	Unique and highly advanced armor which teleports the user out of danger when a projectile is fired at them. The armor itself offers no major protection, but is fireproof, acidproof, and indestructible.
Emergency Response Team Armor	A top of the line armor vest worn by ERT members, when the situation is not urgent enough to warrant hardsuits. The vest has a moderate increase in energy protection over the standard security armor vest, but has a minor reduction in explosive protection.
Drake Armor	A set of primitive armor crafted from the remains of a dead ash drake. The armor provides substantial protection from brute damage, lasers, energy weapons, explosives, radiation, and biohazards, as well as moderate ballistic protection, and complete acid and fire protection.
