Lately I've been feeling like nukies are too weak, both from the crew getting stronger weapons (pulse rifles), generally higher populations (nukies cap at six members, right?), and, paradoxically, from the nukies getting strong weapons. In a game as disarm/stun centric as SS13, any lethal weapons the nukies have are likely to be turned against them.
My suggestion is to buff the nukeops by making them more survivable. Easiest way to do that is simply by buffing their armor, since right now for most of them it's just a spacesuit with no slowdown - not that nukies want to be moving quickly anyways, what with slipping.
One suggestion I have is to make it function like a biosuit, so nukies can more freely use their sarin without fucking the team over. Another is to add minor explosion resistance, so a disarmed grenadier isn't basically an instant loss for the nukies. Giving the armor some disorient resistance might also help. Does the heavy operative armor even have any? If not, it should.
Nukies also really need a way to deal with knockbacks from the pulse rifle, but I don't know what, if anything, can nullify that. Do magboots work? If so, add some magboots to the Cairngorm.
