QoL for atmos goop

A "design document"
More of "ideasguy-ing as an excuse to make this" than "making this as an excuse to ideasguy".

I kind of like how the foampack feels... significant? you know, like suiting up to go deal with something. I'd honestly prefer we make it more impactful, tho I'm not 100% sure on what your issues with it are so I have a hard time coming up with suggestions.

its specifically designed to not be available at all times, and a good AT makes for a bad saboteur so I think there is some concerns about being able to easily isolate/fix a mess like that.

Thing is: it is fast & easy to just scrap the atmos suit and build a civilian MODsuit.
And that's probably the case with A LOT of things you can get an alternative module version of.
You could ofc rush to make THAT more tedious, but maybe stop & think if we really do have to make everything tedious.

I do not really follow what you're getting at

I think what they are saying is that the atmos modsuit has what feels like significant slowdown on it, but that's attached to the suit and not the module so you can just put the module on a faster suit which feels odd for an atmospherics technician when they have a branded one they won't ever use for firefighting because of how slow it is
This is a preventative Forum User message to try and stop a perceived issue escalating before it ever really starts, and does not prevent the headmins from taking a different opinion and deleting my post. No formal action is being taken. No reply to this post is necessary. If you want to discuss the matter further, use forum PMs with me, but I have nothing else to say so I wouldn't waste the time.

The atmos suit being a bit faster does sound like a good way to give it some relevance over the engineering suit, which is in every way a strictly better suit because it has shockproofing, and temp regulators can provide atmospheric protections if that's what you want.

Maybe the module could be an innate property of the atmos modsuit and not be available on other modsuits.
