That isn't going to work. They're restricted to Zeng-hu, which cannot be engineering |
|
Oh, dang. Okay that's a great point. Is it acceptable to make them non Zeng-Hu-aligned you think? They seem pretty... broadly applicable, not just research-focused. |
|
Hmm, I am reading you- to provide corp employees with its own exclusive perks/features Is a valid/effective/easy method of promoting their unique identities. While I still feel an integrated flashlight is sufficiently basic that it'd be more broadly available, I get behind it. I still want to see more augments/built-in tools available, so I will think on it before attacking w/ a new PR. Will try my luck rq before closing this: What about shitty shorter-range colorless flashlights for average joes, and brighter, fashionably pale violet-tinged flashlight eyes for Zeng-Hu folks? Eh eh eh? Still fancy and unique Zeng kit, lesser option available to everyone, totally no self-interest here? |
I wouldn't be opposed to this, so long as the generic variant has a sufficiently substantially lower luminosity than the Zeng-Hu type. It may be worth passing it by lore before you begin work on it, though. |

Pinged lore team on this- should be all set |

Polite ping on this, just confirming that the requested changes have been made! |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Does this have to be limited to the same species as the Zeng-Hu variant? I feel it could be opened to Unathi and Tajara too.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Good catch/thinking, I agree with that. Zeng-Hu isn't necessarily the manufacturer for all the offbrand models- could argue that they never created designs adaptable to the two species but I'd much rather open up access.
Will update tomorrow.
(DISCLAIMER: I currently mostly play an engineer!)
Sightlights are currently only available to Medical, Science, and Bridge personnel- but arguably (strongly arguably) Engineering is actually the department most likely to be regularly walking through very dark areas (see: areas with power outages, and maintenance tunnels). Certainly more commonly than Med and Bridge in almost any given shift!
I don't think this is particularly balance-breaking, and I think it makes a lot of sense, so here it is.
Also minor cleanup to description.
