Neural Net System - The main purpose of the GS-Flight Suit is to aid the users in flight. The suit accomplishes this in the same way that the VT-Nerve Helm System does. It creates a neural network that applies to the systems of the ship around it, albeit in a far lesser manner. It allows the suit to respond with the ship and the user, making the wearer just a bit faster to respond to certain situations during combat.
Neural Band - Built into the Neural Net System of the GS-Flight Suit is a rather ancient technology known as the Neural Band. This system shields the wearer from mental incursion and keeps them focused in combat.
HUD - The Suit creates an automatic HUD, communicating with the vessels systems in order to feed information normally on targeting displays and systems like it directly to the helmet of the wearer. This way all information can quickly be displayed and shown.
Jet Boosts - These four jet boosts located on the back of the flight suit allow for maneuvering within Zero Gravity.
Pockets - Perhaps the most overpowered feature of the Suit, it has pockets, various pockets for holding various things.
Strengths:
- Neural Net: The main purpose of the Flight Suit is to give its user faster reaction and response time. This is why the Flight Suit was first created and why it is used in the first place. The Suit allows a pilot to move and respond faster, giving them a slight edge in combat.
- Connection: The suit is able to automatically link and connect with most modern starships through a simple connector mod. This allows information from the ship to be sent to the suit, giving the wearer better and smoother control of their vessel.
- No Protection: The Flight Suit, though made of durasteel and Duraplast offers little to no protection. It is vacuum sealed and protects from the cold of space, but even a blaster pistol will penetrate through the thin armor and burn the wearer beneath.
- EMP: The suit of course relies on electricity to do 99% of what it does, when it is struck by an EMP or heavy Ion weapon this obviously stops the suit from working.
The Ghost Squadron Flight Suit was a specially developed piece of equipment meant for the heavily augmented Cyborgs of Ghost Squadron.
The suit was created to supplement any lost reaction times and might have been created due to injuries sustained in combat by the members of Ghost Squadron. The suit works on the same principle as the Vanir Technologies Nerve Helm System, albeit through a lesser advanced means. The suit is laced with a Neural network that looped into the nervous system of the wearer, giving them greater sensory input and control of the vessel that the suit is hooked up to.
Obviously because the vessels they utilize do not have the same systems this effect is lesser than that of the Nerve Helm system, yet the flow of information as well as the ability to react faster to said information still makes the suit a valuable resource for those in Ghost Squadron.
Though expensive, this piece of equipment was seen as the Alliance as a vital step in the recovery of their soldiers.
A large question often posed to major governments is the care or continued utilization of injured soldiers. This suit is a way to allow injured pilots, who still wish to fly of course, to continue doing so. It compensates for injuries that might not be accounted for with cybernetics, allowing someone with nerve damage the same, or greater, control they had before their injuries. This means that even though the suits are expensive, the hope is the technology will eventually pay for itself.
Pilots are expensive to train, costing time and millions of credits to properly educate, with these suits its possible to keep someone flying longer and better.
