Flight suits are not suits of armour! They're first job is to provide life-support in low or no heat, reduced or no oxygen environments. They're second job is as a G-suit. Only those flight suits expressly designed for use in space are hardened and offer a small amount of protection; as they are designed to protect against micro-meteor strikes.

In general, the helmet will be the suit's AR +2, and the suit's SDC x1.5.

All flight suits reduce blunt/impact damage (falls, punchs, crashes, etc) by half, up to the allowed SDC of the Suit.

Depending on which era the game is taking place in, player characters could have wildly different flight suits. The following are the most common specifications:

Back Pack w/ oxygen supply (3 or 6 hrs depending on the era) and EVA thrusters (10 minutes of constant flight, 60 minutes of heavy manuevers, or 6 hours of light manuevers.)
Internal computer/data pad for display of mission information, personal info, etc..
