Apparel

This page needs to be rewritten
REASON: Needs reformatting as well as some better design/structural ideas. Could use some more informational content.

Being dressed for success is the first step to being an efficient employee at Nanotrasen. There are many different kinds of apparel one can wear, ranging from plain old jeans to Victorian era getup.
The ordering of the headings go from the most essential to the least essential in your regular shift.

Suit Sensors

Jumpsuits have a full range of sensors that can be toggled and adjusted by alt-clicking on them. They can give out data to Crew Monitors depending on the mode. This is especially useful for medical to remotely track your health and respond in case you get yourself injured.

Mode

Depending on how high you set yours, more information will be available to the monitors. Each increase of the suit sensor mode will also include information from the previous mode.

1. Off: Tells them nothing. You don't even show up on the monitor.
2. Binary Sensors: Tells them if you are alive or deceased. The name and rank that shows up on the monitor is the same one on the ID that is being worn. If no ID is worn, you will show up as "Unknown".
3. Vitals Tracker: Tells them what your vital statistics are. Separates damage by Suffocation, Toxin, Burn, and Brute.
4. Tracking Beacon: The maximum level. Tells them what area of the station you're currently in, and your exact co-ordinate location.

Monitoring

Monitoring is done either via Crew Monitoring Computers or Handheld Crew Monitors. The computers are located at the Bridge, Medbay, and sometimes in the Warden's office. The handheld monitors can be found in NanoMed Plus vending machines in medbay. The monitors can display a map of the station, along with tracking and health information to show exactly how/where everyone is at any time.

Notes

• According to SOP, changing the suit sensor mode to Tracking Beacon is mandatory if the station enters Red Alert.
• You can change someone elses suit sensors by accessing their inventory:
  1. Drag the other person's character onto yours while standing next to them.
  2. Select the small suit icon next to the person's jumpsuit in the inventory window that opens.
  3. Select the sensor mode and hit "Submit".

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.

See also Headset

The only earwear items you're going to commonly notice are headsets. Other items are found somewhere specific.

Gloves

For when you don't wanna leave fingerprints lying around, and to keep your hands warm. Preferably the former, but you can get them warm from being electrocuted as well.

Item	Description
Black Gloves	A standard-issue pair of one-size-fits-all gloves. Prevents the wearer from contaminating evidence with their fingerprints and allows you to take lit lightbulbs out of their sockets. Also comes in finger-less styles. While the fingerless gloves are infinitely cooler, they don't offer any of the benefits of regular black gloves.
Forensics Gloves	A special pair of Detective's gloves, which prevent the wearer from contaminating evidence with their fingerprints. Detectives are always required to wear this during investigations. Also useful for preventing self-incrimination as a traitor.

Issued to the warden, they allow the wearer to trip, lung punch, and throat chop enemy combatants.
Nitrile Gloves	Prevent the spread of viruses and bacteria. Vital to prevent infections during surgery.
Botanist's Gloves	Botanists start with these. A pair of useful gardener gloves that are suited for handling some particularly nasty plants.

Captain Gloves	A pair of one-of-a-kind gloves issued to the Captain. Fully insulated, protect from heat like the black gloves.
Insulated Gloves	Easily one of the most coveted type of gloves. Insulated gloves protect the wearer from any and all electrical hazards. Also crucial for hacking equipment and doors.

Combat Gloves	Full shock protection just like insulated gloves, combined with the fire protection of black gloves. The best gloves for defense, especially when combined with armor that also protects the hands.
Latex Gloves	Provides the protection from spreading a virus or infection and handling poisonous plants as nitrile gloves, but are so thin that you still leave detectable fingerprints.
White Gloves	Gloves that you can make from a roll of ordinary cloth. You can dye them any color in a washing machine, but dying them yellow or black will not grant them any protective properties.
