zoom526 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 It's rather annoying seeing as how one of my favorite jobs is Xenoarche (Even though it was recently removed for some time.) but, I cannot play it as my favorite species, Kidan. Well, I guess I could, but I'd be at a major disadvantage. I know there are supposed to be draw backs to each race, but its a bit disappointing to be able to see Hardsuit modifications for other species, (not that kidan need them) but, perhaps some sort of way for Kidan to be able to have such tech? Playing as a Security officer when brig sets up those motion flashes is a nightmare, flashed constantly because of their inability to wear any sort of eye protection. I just personally see the not being able to wear glasses at all as a MAJOR drawback. But hey, I guess that's what they get for being born with such huge eye balls.

Rumiluntti Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 They have ridiculous tankiness as a benefit, that calls for something significant as a drawback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johannhawk Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 well, if the brig has flashers set up, just walk instead of run, then the motion sensors in them wont pick ya up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xilia Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 As someone who plays as Human, dionaea and Kidan as mains. My Kidan plays security often. And the lack of sunglasses has just impact on the secglass function. Flashes are offset by either walking or wear a welding helmet (if you so desire to have flash protection) Really no one uses their flash these days even if they are very effective. My Kidan sec alternatives uses more communication to get a hand on wanted criminals and information. Not that often are people set on wanted through the sec database though. They make great security officers for their natural defense and having the armor top it. Plus they are pretty rare, so you'll be more unique and stylish if you do it right. I don't know how limited the hardsuit selection is. since security hardsuits work fine on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthdivine Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 This is also a limitation on them back when they had permanent Riot shields for body armor. 50% chance of completely ignoring a hostile action. It is a far far more manageable 20% brute reduction now I believe, but the weakness is very very old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoom526 Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 Basically all I'm asking for is some way for maybe helmets (perhaps?) to be able to have a menson or HUD modification. The tankiness benefit was great nerfed long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomzy Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Maybe, just maybe, a limited function sec-helmet that RnD can produce at a higher level. Maybe take some of the more useful minerals or someshit. Unlockable by the Warden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
