Naked Spacesuit 0.06

Intro

 

This mod provides a version of the Constellation spacesuit which leaves the wearer apart from cuffs, boots and helmet. I'm aiming for a classic '50s pulp S/F feel. The suit functions in all ways as a spacesuit - the wearer just looks naked. Think of it as generating a force-field for protection. There are also skin tight latex-like bodysuits for those who want to reserve a modicum of dignity while nevertheless leaving nothing to the imagination.

 

In keeping with the pulp S/F vibe, there are three fishbowl style helmets included. One of them keeps the flight cap from the constellation helm and will stop long hair from clipping through the helmet. There is also a "no cowl" helmet that shows your character's hair inside the bowl. The third option is a half-cowl which is intended to provide a collar but no hood. Unfortunately I still can't get edited meshes to import correctly, so this option still doesn't work. In particular, this means that the bodysuits have deep, square cut necklines. I'm sure we can all cope for the time being.

 

The suit uses whatever body mesh and textures you have installed. So you'll need a nude mod, unless you want to explore space in your undies.

 

Requirements

 

• A nude mod. This mod doesn't provide a naked body, but uses whatever you have installed. I've tested this against CRT - BODY MESH + CRT - SKINS, but anything should work. Alternatively, if you want to run around through space wearing a thong or a bikini, any undies backed into the body mesh should also show up.

 

Installation

 

Install normally. MO2 recommended, but however you normally install your mods.

 

Usage

 

For now, you'll need to console add the items. Use player.additem and one of the numbers  from this list. Remember to change the 02 at the start of the number with the mod index for your modlist.

 

 

Or type "help NSS 4 armo" into the console and get a list of IDs that way.

 

The "Va'ruun Dominatrix Edition" is temporarily unavailable, as are Sarah and Andreja's suits.

 

Uninstallation

 

Just remove the mod. There are no scripts and the worst that is going to happen is that your character's spacesuit will vanish,for real. You might want to make sure you're in a safe place with a breathable atmosphere first.

 

Upgrading from 0.04a

 

Just remove naked_spacesuit.esp and activate NSS.esm. Your naked_spacesuit suits will vanish as a result, so as for uninstallation, you might want to do that when you're in a safe place, atmosphere wise.

 

Lore

 

Quote

Narion Space Systems is pleased to offer its first product range in the environmental protection arena. NSS Spacesuits work by adapting the technology used in starship shields to maintain a protective field around explorers in conditions of heat, cold, vacuum, and other hazards routinely encountered by spacefarers.

 

The protective field is generated by a collar and halter unit and follows the natural conductivity of human skin. Additional cuffs at ankle and wrist ensure the field terminates at the hands and feet and keeps it from dissipating to no effect. To ensure a breathable atmosphere for the wearer, a clear bubble of conductive plastic serves as a guide for the protective field. The "fishbowl" design ensures maximum visibility for the wearer at all times.

 

Because of the way the field follows skin conductivity, best results occur when the suit is worn naked, or nearly so. However, to spare the modesty of our customer base, conductive body sheathes are available in a variety of colors.

 

Finally, NSS would like to take this opportunity to deny any collaboration with the so-called Starborn. The Starborn are nothing more than a modern urban myth, and any rumours Starborn using a glowing, high energy NSS suit are entirely without foundation.

 

Thank you for your time, and we hope you enjoy using NSS producs as part of your exploration program.

 

To Do

 

This is very much a work in progress. There's a few things I don't know how to do yet.  Things I want to do:

 

• Provide a version that keeps the naked texture, but adds a glow shader to the body to represent a force field. Nishina Emissive Blue is pretty close, if a bit too glowy. Work in progress.
• Recipes so you can craft the suits.  And modify them.
• I'm thinking about a cut-down boost pack. Any one will do, and the Constellation one works nicely, but it could be maybe 30% smaller. And maybe some straps or some sort of harness, maybe combine that with a belt of some sort.
• At some point I want a capture version of the suit which functions like a set of cuffs. And probably a slaved boost pack.
• At some point high heels and cute little gloves. I'd like this to look fashionable and impractical. Or I might just stick with the bronze cuffs.
• Variants for other spacesuits with better stats. Legendary versions. Starborn versions. I'm thinking about keeping the Starborn rags that come with the suit, but dialing the alpha way up if I can manage it.

 

Issues

 

• There are currently no male versions. That should be rectified with the next release.
• The suit uses the default Constellation suit's resistances, which may be a bit lacking in protection for high level characters. Feel free to crack open the esm with SF1Edit and adjust the numbers to meet your needs. The "clear" suit has slightly better protection for lore reasons. Or to encourage people to run around the galaxy glossy and naked.
• "White" and "Clear" are a bit too similar. The white could be a bit less transparent, and the black probably a touch more so.
