<h2><a name="Civilian">Civilian Suits</a></h2> One important point for synthetics and people using full-body prosthetics: You obviously don't need oxygen, but you do run the risk of overheating in vacuum.
Rather than oxygen, use a suit cooling unit. Many emergency equipment stores don't hold them, unfortunately, but dedicated EVA stores will. Be aware of your heat tolerances.<BR><BR>

Important note: When using these, especially in emergencies, be aware of your surroundings! These suits can tear or breach more easily than any other type, especially in an environment with broken glass and metal everywhere.
If your suit is breached, you will be in deep trouble. Pressure issues can inhibit breathing even with internals.<BR><BR>
These suits tend to be wearable by most species. They're large and flexible. They might be pretty uncomfortable for some, though, so keep that in mind.<BR><BR> These suits tend to be wearable by most species. They're large and flexible.

Later-model voidsuits can have magboots and helmets installed into the suit and deployed when needed. Check the operator's manual for individual suits to see how the helmets are installed.
If a helmet is installed, you can skip it while putting the suit on, obviously. When deployed, it will deploy from the back of your neck, covering the head and sealing at the front.<BR><BR>
<h2><a name="Hardsuits">Hardsuits/Rigs</a></h2>
<I>The fancy stuff.</I><BR>
Proper hardsuits are the most complex sort of EVA equipment available, and blur the line between spacesuits and smaller exosuits. They're sometimes known as 'rigs' or 'powered armor'.
These are the suits with the widest variety of uses, owing to the wide variety of equipment that can be installed on them. Like voidsuits, they come in different, specialized varieties, each one offering different protections and different equipment.
Equipment that can be installed includes weapons, power tools, mining equipment, medical equipment, AI assistants, and more.<BR><BR>
Putting these on is relatively simple. They come as compact packs, worn like a backpack and secured with a harness. Activating them, though, is a more complex process. The suit deploys from the module similarly to helmets deploying from voidsuits.
After it covers the whole body, the suit can be started. The startup sequence takes some time. The suit will automatically fit itself to your body, sealing each section individually - boots, gloves, pants, torso, and helmet - then connecting them.<BR><BR>
Operating a hardsuit is a much more complicated proposal than operating other EVA equipment. While putting them on is relatively simple, and operating basic functions like oxygen and magboots is the same as other suits, the rest is far more complex.
Consult the operator's manual for invidual pieces of equipment that you plan to use. Use of these for heavy work is only reccomended for people who have specialized training and extensive EVA experience.
The potential of a suit breach is always there, and the use of powered equipment raises it significantly.<BR><BR>
<h2><a name="Advice">Miscellaneous Advice</a></h2>
<I>Pro tip: Safety first.</I><BR>
There's a lot of general advice that can be helpful for people who haven't taken a long-form instruction course. Much of this is going to be fairly obvious safety advice, but it's never bad to remind yourself of that.<BR><BR>
<ul>
<li>Magboots are important. They can be the difference between keeping your footing and needing a rescue team. A tie-off or a jetpack can substitute if necessary.</li>
<li>Be aware of breach hazards, especially in softsuits. Loss of suit pressure can be a fatal disaster.</li>
<li>Keep an eye on your internals. Having to make two trips outside is better than running out of air.</li>
<li>Similarly, keep an eye on the battery status of cooling units and other equipment.</li>
<li>In vacuum, sound doesn't carry. Use a radio or sign language for communication.</li><BR><BR>

These machines can both tailor a suit between species, and between types. This means you can convert engineering hardsuits to atmospherics, or the other way. This is useful.

There's also modification kits that let you modify suits yourself. These are extremely difficult to use unless you understand the actual construction of the suit. I do not reccomend using them unless no other option is available. There's also modification kits that let you modify suits yourself.
