Emergency suits are jokes. I mean, literally. They still have uses though:
Though for the most part you're just better off grabbing a firesuit.
Hmm... while I do like the idea of more things to wear for just that reason, I don't think of it as a fix for the situation. You can already grab a firesuit, and you see how many people do that. With a penalty there's no point to it, outside looks. Without a penalty everyone wears it, which puts a major damper on spessman fashion.
The main place to start from my pov would be heatloss and gain. Being slowed down to nothing in 1 or even 2 ticks is grating, and taking over a minute to recover is just hell. Especially when you generally have no choice but to head back into that cold.
Fun related factoid: Hoodies are in the code.
- They slow heat loss.
- They're flagged as spacewear.
- The hood covers the eyes and mouth. It actually has no real downsides.
- You can often find them in your box (yet they don't fit back in there for some reason?)
- Walking down the hallway in one of these with a random name gains you little attention outside of some snickering.
