orelbon Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Spider venom shouldn't be injected into you if you are wearing a hard suit, but the regular brute damage still applies, considering you are in a sealed container the spider should not be able to bite you, but knock you inside.

Plotron Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Hardsuits can be penetrated, you know. I wouldn't be surprised, considering the strength of the muscles in a spider. This is a ridiculous suggestion, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veganzombeh Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 It's not that ridiculous, I mean, if a spider bite punctured a hardsuit, you'd think it would no longer be able to protect against pressure damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to take this time to remind people that the hardsuits we have are literally these: This is certainly NOT a sealed container in any sort of fashion, and like Vegan mentioned, it is far more likely your hardsuit would be exposed to space rather then block the spider bite. Except hardsuit punctures were shit and it's very very good they were taken out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johannhawk Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 b-but my medical hardsuit blocked all the toxin damage from a spider already... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadApple797 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Does food from spiders use spider venom instead of toxins now? Cause it should, but I have a feeling it was overlooked in the swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plotron Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I'm just baffled why a hardsuit should be spider venom-proof. It'd give an unfair advantage to engineers who almost always happen to be wearing one indoors. And not long ago there was a trend that engineering had too much power with their hardsuits, so their protection was nerfed to shit. Remember, trying to balance things by using arguments based on realsim gets nowhere. My first response to the OP was a counterargument based on common sense realism, since he began with his own common sense "sealed container" idea of the hardsuit. It's apples to apples here. I know that punctures were removed - but they were removed due to balance reasons - that doesn't mean we should disregard realism completely.
