Intent: To create an upmarket pilot's suit with systems to help a pilot in-flight - systems such as wrist-mounted diagnostics, cyberoptics integrated into the helmet (heads-up-display, assisted targeting systems) and protection against the conditions of space in the event of a hull breach.
Manufacturer: Crown Consortium.
Model: DF9
Modularity: some - ability to upgrade cyberoptics, and connections available for adding kit such as more armour plating, gear belts, etc.
Production: Minor
Material: Dura-fiber body glove, plastoid plating on key areas
Classification: Multipurpose - intended as flight suit
Weight: 4 kilograms
Quality: 3
Special Features: Multiple vision enhancements; EVA survivability; seamless integration with compatible ships (through the wrist-mounted module and helmet HUD) Optional plastoid ballistic face cover (at the expense of full viewing range. Housing for a digital assistant, but assistants not sold alongside the suit due to replication issues.
Description: Developed by Crown Consortium and it's founder, Lucullus Lacar, to serve as an outfit that offers a range of enhancements to a pilot in-flight, and can also be made useful to light soldiers on the ground. The DF9 was designed around making a pilot's life easier through a suite of visual and tactical enhancements that are easily accessible on the fly - and also for making a pilot's lifespan potentially longer, through the use of a durafiber body glove that can withstand an EVA environment and plastoid plating which will (hopefully) fend off debris.

The primary downside to the suit is the amount of input lag that might be found when an operator attempts to connect their suit's diagnostics to their ship - incompatible architecture could lead to data transmissions being impeded but competent engineers and programmers can find workarounds to reduce the lag. These are usually on a case-by-case basis and incompatibilities are few and far between.

[member="Lucullus Lacar"] - This sub seems to imply that this suit will feature it's own AI built in, is this your intent?

 

[Lucullus Lacar]

AI integration doesn't come as stock, but the suit is compatible with housing an AI if the option is chosen.

I should also clarify that the AI that would come with it isn't a 'true' AI, so it isn't self-aware etc. It's more of a Siri that knows how to perform functions on a spaceship, but needs to be told what to do first.

[member="Lucullus Lacar"] - Then please rewrite the sub to remove reference to it as an AI as this is a restricted material/option on Chaos, which you've not fulfilled, and I don't want any confusion from any potential buyers or users or the like. My recommendation is to tone down the interface in general, as what you are suggesting is straying beyond the capabilities suit wise of much else other than an AI, but i'm open to see what you can think of to justify it. Thank you.

[member="Ijaat Akun"] - edited out the option to purchase AI, but I assume it's ok to leave in the special feature of a housing for AI? Just giving the user of acquiring the AI elsewhere and finding a home for it in the suit.
I only stated it was an AI as that was the only way I could think to describe it, but I've changed that description now.

Also added in a weakness for balancing, hope it's all fine now.
