[@NuttsnBolts] I know how an EMP works. A Faraday Cage is not rquired for spaceships, unless you tend to travel around a lot, without the shielding on your ship, or the whole fuselage, so to say. Especially with Jump Gates that means you can do quick travle without being exposed to much radiation. I am just angry because thagbeautiful face would be lost behind that mask. And cause I didn'z really want actual armot and hazard gear until later. Cuz yk. But sure, your argument is on point, and I like that. So Max will have that. But then again, where would he charge it, if the central power systems are fried on the planet.

If you're nixing a spacefuture helmet you might as well nix all those implants people are using including your own character or the medic's HUD that tracks the vital signs of the team and aids in diagnoses n whatnot. If you don't want an actual helmet just say so and I'll turn it into a mask but consider that the character is already armored by design and the thing is a helmet primarily because it makes him seem less human than a mask. You can still tell a mask is strapped, a full helmet in these situations, with hair-like attachments? Extra freaky. If it's the visual aids that bother you out of a sense of my character having too much already I can just get rid of those no problem.

Also if there's now enough activity to have both scavengers with mechanical augs and a re-activation of an organized spacefuture mob, one powerful enough to have once acted as its own paramilitary unit, it feels silly to assume they haven't managed to jury rig enough equipment on stronghold positions to run maintenance and whatnot. It would give them an undeniable advantage and establish their powerbase so that people are pretty much forced to rely on them and can't fight back. These would also likely be situated someplace with access to food and water, giving them a good control of vital resources all around and making things worse for anyone not associated with them.
