New helmet get!

That is a nice helmet. Kind of reminds me of those ones they used to sell at Kanala Exports. Field of vision and glowing eyes, though.

Could try dimming down the eyes, but not sure about the vision thing - some of the newer helmets come with tiny 360' optical cameras on the outside to simulate actually seeing it all, but they're pretty expensive nowadays. Watch out for the EMP's, though: uncommon, but they really screw with the HUD.

About the rest of your stuff, get some good KB's (Gateway Defense back on Illium made some great ones) then worry about the armour. Something light and mobile, 'cause if you fall down with those legs in combat you're probably not getting back up again. Heheh. If you're not actually going out looking for fights, something with good protection and defensive capabilities is good - or stuff that can link with your omnitool. Rosenkov made some great suits a while ago; bit heavy, though. Though if you end up getting powered joints, that won't really matter.

How practical is that kind of 360 vision set-up? Complicated electronics behind its operation, or what?


Let's say for the sake of argument that because of some good deeds I'm doing for the OHO, they're cutting me a deal on some not-so-shitty legs. What then?


Well, what kind of defensive capabilities besides 'shields' and 'stuff to block bullets?' Like, what else do I have to pick from, here?


Gotcha.

Oh look, it's almost every non-military helmet ever since 2183. YAWN.

Atleast try to modify the visor, I am absolutely SICK TO DEATH of that eye-socket design.

Actually, my old hardsuit HAD a visor, Langston. I got this because, well...bullets to the face. It's a thing.

And, the helmet IS milspec, so, non-military-issue or not really doesn't factor in. Does the same job.

Don't have one myself, but I've heard it's rather tech-oriented. Lots of little cameras all around the helmet, feeding into a visual display. Kind of like... looking at something.


Then you are a very lucky batarian and I am slightly envious.


Emergency shield-restore, layered-dose medi-gel dispensers, thermal clip coolers (good for suppressing fire)... I think some company or other was trying to downscale ship-grade CBT for hardsuit kinetic barriers, but I'm not sure if that's out yet.

So, what, it condenses it into a 180-degree view or something?


'Not-so-shitty' meaning 'standard cybernetics instead of PURE MADE-OF-FAIL CRAP'


this is a thing

this wasn't a thing when i got my hardsuit

must have


Interesting.


This is a defensive thing? An armor thing? Or a gun mod, or something?


Well well.

This feature is rare in citadel space. Good luck finding it in Terminus space.


That's uhhhh standard issue on all modern combat armor. I question your choice of armor.

Doubtful. You would need so much maintenance it would even be funny. Maybe the geth though.

Everything goes to Omega eventually. How much does this kind of system tend to cost to integrate into an existing hardsuit?

Because that's some life-saving shit right there.


My choice of armor is the hardsuit from the Pequod boarding action. Y'know, the one that you put together, Palmer. I'm trying to get it up-to-date more than anything. Like, the hardsuit works as-is, but there's no sense in not upgrading. Especially if I'm not gonna be spending so much on rent (shitty districts tend to be cheaper to live in, leaves me some more spending money).

And apparently it isn't standard, any moreso than KB generators (which apparently aren't standard at all, but are so ubiquitous as for the distinction to be meaningless - or something).

Still doesn't excuse the fact you picked the most OVERUSED design to have ever come out of this industry.

What's the appeal of restricting your vision by making the visor just a pair of circular sockets?

That's good to hear. And yes, it is. Small scale medi-gel dispensers are in most modern combat armors. It's the thing that keeps most people alive and it really helps in toxic or vacuum environments. KB generators might not be common but this stuff is. Trust me.

I think so. Sounds weird, yeah, but the reviews are great.


Emergency shield-restore? Not exactly common; quite hard to find outside of medical services or professional merc-

wait...


Shirt, trousers and a paper bag for a helmet. or was that my unification day costume?
But seriously you should get this. It's not exactly hard to come by; spirits, even an evac company uses this stuff.


An armour thing. Not quite defensive, but useful. Think I might've seen one of the HTR guys with one of those...

...

hang on a second, just checking something

Why not just use something along the lines of a micro camera set up to send a standard feed to your hud. Nothing too complex. just enough to compensate for the lack of a second set of eye sockets.

There are other ways to get it done through extensive modification of the helm. I could probably do it myself but it would take some time.. Not as much for a Salarian like myself but for anyone else would take ages. Wont argue with you about the quality of it but the quality would likely be much better compared to the price from someone else.

But this is getting off subject. Just making a small suggestion. Nothing too long or too complicated. simply a simple answer.

Actually, I heard a whisper from a friend in R&D, she said they were trying to mash CBT into a hard suit, but I'm pretty sure that the Cabals are the only ones getting to play with that tech right now.
