Apparel
REASON: Needs reformatting as well as some better design/structural ideas. Could use some more informational content.
Being dressed for success is the first step to being an efficient employee at Nanotrasen. There are many different kinds of apparel one can wear, ranging from plain old jeans to Victorian era getup.
The ordering of the headings go from the most essential to the least essential in your regular shift.
Suit Sensors
Jumpsuits have a full range of sensors that can be toggled and adjusted by alt-clicking on them. They can give out data to Crew Monitors depending on the mode. This is especially useful for medical to remotely track your health and respond in case you get yourself injured.
Mode
Depending on how high you set yours, more information will be available to the monitors. Each increase of the suit sensor mode will also include information from the previous mode.
- Off: Tells them nothing. You don't even show up on the monitor.
- Binary Sensors: Tells them if you are alive or deceased. The name and rank that shows up on the monitor is the same one on the ID that is being worn. If no ID is worn, you will show up as "Unknown".
- Vitals Tracker: Tells them what your vital statistics are. Separates damage by Suffocation, Toxin, Burn, and Brute.
- Tracking Beacon: The maximum level. Tells them what area of the station you're currently in, and your exact co-ordinate location.
Monitoring
Monitoring is done either via Crew Monitoring Computers or Handheld Crew Monitors. The computers are located at the Bridge, Medbay, and sometimes in the Warden's office. The handheld monitors can be found in NanoMed Plus vending machines in medbay. The monitors can display a map of the station, along with tracking and health information to show exactly how/where everyone is at any time.
Notes
- According to SOP, changing the suit sensor mode to Tracking Beacon is mandatory if the station enters Red Alert.
- You can change someone elses suit sensors by accessing their inventory:
- Drag the other person's character onto yours while standing next to them.
- Select the small suit icon next to the person's jumpsuit in the inventory window that opens.
- Select the sensor mode and hit "Submit".
Jumpsuits
Having a jumpsuit or other form of apparel is extremely important. In addition to ensuring you aren't slapped with a public nudity charge, these clothes provide a slot for your ID and PDA. Also allows you to store items in pockets or wear a wide variety of belts. The jumpsuit is also useful in identifying your department of choice at a glance, and can be used as part of a disguise. Also useful for judging people on their fashion choices.

White Gloves |
Gloves that you can make from a roll of ordinary cloth. You can dye them any color in a washing machine, but dying them yellow or black will not grant them any protective properties. |
