The rescue balls are a good idea; I'll have to see if UT has stats. And the access points for air are an even better one.

If operating life support controls is as easy as adjusting a thermostat or turning on a light switch is for a TL6-8 person then it's an IQ roll at best. Housekeeping covers routine inspection, cleaning, and maintenance of widespread, mature tech (e.g., changing filters or fixing switches). For stuff that isn't as obvious or requires specialized tools or procedures Crewman is required. Area Knowledge might cover knowledge of life support infrastructure and procedures that any local would know (E.g., Location of emergency shelters, or symbols which indicate emergency life support equipment). Arguably, you could invent a new specialization of Crewman to cover living in a sealed or underground environment module or vehicle in an environment with significant gravity but toxic, high pressure, or otherwise lethal outside environment. It would be analogous to Crewman (Submariner or Spacer). Last edited by Pursuivant; 01-24-2022 at 10:13 AM. |

Basically, "Do whatever you want, but, if you mess with the life support or even look like you're going to do so, the state comes down on you and yours like 100 tonnes of regolith." |

Re: Vacc Suits
That might reinforce the idea of using walkers or wheeled/tracked vehicles if you're going to be outside of any length of time. Vacc Suits are for short-term use, like making simple repairs, possibly with portable canopies or tents to give extra PF vs. radiation. Walkers are for longer-range travel or longer-term repairs. Heavily-shielded vehicles act as mobile bases for multi-day trips or extended construction or repairs.

AIUI whswhs colony isn't in that level of pioneering status anymore so running on a more civilian basis makes sense.

Given the social background, there might also be high CR laws regarding things like public nudity, blasphemy, state-sponsored religions, etc. Again, not trying to invite political debate, just pointing out potential legal and social contradictions and hypocrisies which will make the culture seem more "real" and give socially-savvy PCs situations they can exploit. |
