About The Pull Request

This PR includes the following changes:

• Slightly expands and adds to the bridge to be more comfortable to operate from.
• Adds a security camera console to the bridge to allow for full bridge monitoring
• Sets the Crying Sun and the the Nail's turrets to be set to lethal by default
• The radiation crate in stowage now contains radiation suits for the Navy Engineers.
• An additional standard vest added to marine officer's locker, should the coated variant not be desired.
• Equipment in the marine armory has been adjusted to reflect its purpose of equipping the marines and the marines only.
• Silkenweave jackets and Betiz hats now offer zero armor, but offer cold protection, for people moving onto frosty planets

Why It's Good For The Game

The changes to equipment on board the ship are good for players as it provides more options. Players will now have trade offs to consider when chosing their equipment in adverse conditions. Because of the PGF's strict uniform protocols, providing these options to players also allows them to enjoy different styles and looks whilst remaining lore friendly.

The changes to the ship's layout on the bridge is in response to the innability of the ship's command staff to be everywhere at once. By including more space to work on the bridge and a security camera console, the captain now has access to essential equipment in close proximity to their primary work station, the helm.

Finally, with the addition of combustion engines, including ships that utilize them more heavily makes for interesting variaton and challenge. Increasing engineering interaction.

Don't do this, if it is on an outside tile it needs to be a /external/dark for a ship. I know that makes turret controllers not work but this is not how to fix it. Also do not put a /external on the inside either.

Do something else with this table.

As this is a continuation of an old PR, I want you to add the previously stated crew changes, making the serageant "Marine Lieutenant", and bridge crew to "helmsman".

[DIB-DOG]

Just wanted to ask, in regard to the turrets. With the way that other ship's turrets are set up, they have their turrets set as being in a "Bridge" tile same as this PR. I did notice though, that in all the other ships with turrets, said turrets were tucked into the walls, not on outside platforms.

I don't think I can make the turrets work without them being in "Bridge" tiles, so I assume that's not the issue and the issue is more about their positioning? If the turrets were attached to a wall. Like on the Komodo for example, would that be alright?

[DIB-DOG]

Made the requested changes, looks a lot better now with the input I received so I appreciate the motivation. The role changes have been made as well as a change to the marine leader's cape so that it is now a "Marine Officer's Cape". Lastly, I reverted the turret fix that was using the bridge area changes and instead just shifted their starting mode to be lethal.

Re-organized the table to look nicer, image below

I'll TM this, but I need you to update your image, and show what your firelocks under the windows look like. I believe I know but I would like it for posterity.

[DIB-DOG]

Can do! Here's the images you requested

This is beneath the bridge window shutters:

These are the firelocks beneath said bridge windows:

[Latentish]

Cool. Saw this on live, no problems that I see.

[Sadhorizon]

Make this guy an officer maybe? Or was that discussed already?
He probably should be one, cause command.

[DIB-DOG]

Definitely something I'll run past Latency. I just left it as it was originally, so I'd say it depends if it was a part of the original intent or just something that got overlooked. It would certainly make sense to have however.
