So here's a quick question to all you RPers out there.
In Snubs, would your character be wearing a space suite and mask or no?
Would you be wearing a space suit on larger ships? When would you need to be wearing it?
I saw both sides to the question around here, but the more popular result is no space suites and mask are needed.
Perhaps they are... and we just skipped/forgot about that RP detail

Entirely depends on the culture or the society they're in.
It's like seeing Imperial Engineers in Star Wars on Star Destroyers, the engineers mostly wear it, commanders usually have uniform. But again, depends on the background of the faction or what they usually do. If it's undercrewed or w/e, yeah probably.
Ofc in snubs they'd use a space suit. Common sense unless they're stupidly poor or nuts. Facial expressions are usually seen by their camera - or if they have a clear visor.
I always RP my characters as wearing flight suits when in snubs. If you read my latest post in my "flashback" thread I mentioned Anna having a flight suit on.
I do helmets as well sometimes, here was a case where I didn't but that's the perks of being the leader of an Army I guess.
In any case I'd say a flight suit is mandatory. However onboard larger warships, I'd say no, here you can see my character (a warship captian onboard a warship) is wearing a fancy uniform.
It's all dependent on the person I guess, being realistic I'd say its mandatory on snubs. But it's your RP.
I'd assume a ship would have life support systems. When you shoot NPCs, the pirate voice will sometimes say "Life support systems failing - losing power" or something along those lines.

That, it also doesn't hurt to have an emergancy tank to go with the helmet.
I'd say that if I was outside of combat, my character would gladly take theirs off due to the sake of comfort. If combat ensues, back up it goes as it provides additional life support in the event of a "HULL BREACH" or "COOLANT LEAK!!!11one" and you'd rather have a source of oxygen in those situations.

Flight suit on snubs: Definitely, although maybe not on short trips.
Flight helmed on snubs: Yes, definitely
When not wearing civil clothing, I have let my main characters wearing a tight overall, something similar to the plug suits of Neon Genesis Evangelion which is partially weird on male characters. However, there are enough sci-fi series that do it that way too.
As far as I see it, it's more something of military/combat-ready pilots, as I doubt the cybering people infront of Manhattan, that sit in their snubs and have them drink stuff, are wearing a helmet.
On bigger ships, if not a Corvo or something else civilian, it's probable that people wear uniforms like they do on their space stations.
