Hardsuit Helmet
Hardsuit Helmet
"The Hardsuit Helmet is similar to the Space Helmet, but can withstand higher temperatures and pressures. It's perfect for enduring harsh environments like Venus and Vulcan." — Stationpedia
Description
Paired with a Hardsuit, it provides a contained, portable, pressurized, breathable environment need for protection against the vacuum of space.
The Hardsuit Helmet has more armor than the Space Helmet, and a slightly more powerful light.
Usage
Your helmet must be worn with a suitable suit to function properly. Your helmet functions can be accessed by pressing the Number '1' key. This will bring up a panel showing the helmet's settings, as follows:
- Open / Close Helmet - Open and close the glass visor of the helmet, venting or enclosing your suit atmosphere (Keyboard shortcut - I)
- Lock/Unlock Helmet - Allow or prevent the opening of the visor (useful to avoid accidental opening)
- Light On / Off - Toggle the helmet's forward facing light on and off (Keyboard shortcut - L)
- Flush - Expels helmet's (and suit's) current atmosphere and replenishes from the air tank.
The helmet's light draws power from your suit Battery. If damaged, your helmet can be patched by holding Duct Tape in your right hand and holding the right mouse button. The colour of an (unworn) helmet can be changed using Spray Paint.
Notes
- Caution: An open helmet allows exposure to the conditions outside of the suit.
- If you open the helmet in a contaminated, external environment (and lack Filters to process the contaminants), Flush the helmet.
- It is theoretically possible to mix EVA Suit elements and Hardsuit elements, although this is relatively uncommon.
- Damaged helmets can be recycled (assuming you have a new one to use!)
- The helmet light uses 100 watts of power when on, For comparison most wall mounted lights use 50 watts.
