Guns - Bullets - Spacesuits - Anyone see the issue here?

They should have installed a threshold that after so many bullets/attacks one must patch his/her suit.

Feels weird pumping people full of lead on a barren moon.

They should be going poof.

[Fraktal]

No one else thinks this is an issue?

[Trip]

Yeah, definitely should have.

Unless the suits are so tough they block all penetration and you are only taking bludgeoning and concussion damage, or some kind of other plot device to explain it.

For ultimate realism, sure...I just think it would be super tedious to patch a suit over and over again. Similar to the fact that a medkit is like an all in one fix...if I had to stitch every bullet hole, I'd be bored as hell

[Gropax]

they are doing The Expanse way of doing space suits i have seen Bobbie and Amos get shot in there suits and no leaks.

[saice]

The bullets are self sealing. It was a requirement after the third space war that all weapons had to have self sealing suit charges installed in them for humanitarian reasons

Not really. But it is interesting. Honestly I'd like to see something like this in survival mode, where you have to patch your own suit or that hazard protection bar goes poof. They already have rolls of duct tape in game, this might be a use for them.

[Qoojo]

OP you have ruined the game for me now.

1) Eating heals you
2) How do you eat with your helmet on and not lose all oxygen?

Not sure I can continue playing. I am off to play BG3 where such realistic issues do not exist.

Me looking at one of those rolls spawned this thought lol

Almost. It is the suits that are self sealing. A gel layer, blah blah. I like the three damage types, but yes Starfield suits are really armor required in certain environments lol. You just gotta roll with it.

It's an RPG, not a space sim. If I followed your logic then we'd all need to be upset that armor in medieval RPG's doesn't work realistically either.

i mean... if i was a space suit maker in this world i'd probably just design them to get shot at... its a scifi game so i'm fine with this being a reasonable answer (scifi is just fantasy with less wizard robes from time to time anyway)

No different to having to repair your weapons in TES.

[EricHVela]

Sure. It's not world-ending, but it might be a neat mechanic. Here's wondering if someone'll manage to mod it into the game.

We could have had a separate health and suit integrity meter.
