beef up helmets and armor

[OMJ]

imho it's kinda dumb that the captain's armor is as strong as regular security armor. Also, helmets should be beefed up a bit because it's quite common that punching someone in the face who got a helmet on can get knocked out. Armor really does way too little right now imho and it'd be nice to see it get a minor upgrade

agreed

[Dauntasa]

The helmets don't cover the face

[MEOW POW]

yeah armor needs a minor buff, if I have a choice between armor and a space suit I always take the suit.

[OMJ]

it's kinda lame how space suit helmets protect the head more than actual helmets ingame

make perfect sense, though.Space suit helmets have to deal with a lot more pressure and damage than the human fist can deliver.

People who have armor likely have batons or guns that guarantees a stun on hit. That's a pretty big additional advantage.

If knockouts were changed from a lucky roll of the rng to a variable that increased at every received punch or toolbox, until a KO/KD threshold, unarmed combat could be less random and require a more use of the environment.
Incidentally, armored people would get... a slight boost.

I gave armor and helmets a stealth buff against weapons, punches and disarm shoves recently, but I guess it wasn't enough for anyone to notice.

What? How does wearing a helmet make it harder to knock a gun out of someone's hand?

space science obviously

He said disarm shoves, not disarms. Presumably, he means it's harder to knock the person down, not that it's harder to knock a weapon out of their hands.

oh yeah the captain armor should cover up the whole body imo
