What is the heaviest level of armor that can be worn while piloting a ship or manning a crew station, and how long will it take to don armor if the need arises? I'd hate to have to fight off a boarding party in my space pajamas.asked by Chaplain
TL;DRPiloting small fighters would generally need light armour or less, bigger ships might allow medium or heavy, and donning time is undecided but would be quick, possibly longer for heavier armour.
I think we're talking about piloting a ship or manning a station in general would be light armour, like in a hornet you might need a flight suit up to light armour. Potentially in a bigger ship we might let you go up to say medium armour as there's more room to move around etc, not 100%. But the rule is essentially light or below to be piloting the small fighter ships, and then if there are bigger ships we might see medium armour or heavy, titan armour I doubt you'd be able to sit down and pilot ships in it. In terms of how long it takes to put all the armour on? Well we haven't decided yet, but it certainly wouldn't take as long as it might take to ACTUALLY strap on that much armour, we might just have an animation where you'd kinda do {this} and suddenly you'd be in. Potentially we'd have it take longer to don heavier armours, but we haven't decided on that yet.
