Helmet

"While most ships use the regulation Class XVII impact-proof silica for their viewports, LYNX uses the much lighter and readily-available Class III silica in its standard-issue helmet. This lightweight material allows for maximum freedom of movement and reduces fatigue.

The safety of LYNX employees remains a major concern, and helmet-related deaths are an ever-present danger. As found in a recent statement following inquiry, LYNX proudly stands behind its functional and fashionable helmets. In particular, LYNX points to their high UV reflectance and ergonomic comfort during prolonged shifts."

- In-Game Description

The Helmet is one of three suit components that make up the Shipbreaker's spacesuit. It contains the suit's oxygen apparatus and also comes equipped with a light, which can be toggled on and off with the key.

Oxygen
Unless the player is playing in Open Shift or Free Play, they will gradually deplete their supply of oxygen. If the player ever completely runs out of oxygen, they will asphyxiate and die. Oxygen can be refilled at the Vendatron 9000 terminal just outside the HAB platform for $8000, or from oxygen canisters sometimes found inside ships. Once the O2 Recharge Module upgrade is purchased, oxygen can also be refilled from any pressurized environment.

Damage and Repair
The helmet may be damaged if the player collides with salvage or a sufficiently heavy object at a high enough speed. The visor can be repaired with a DamasCraft™ Patch Kit from the Master Jack terminal for $4500.

Upgrades
The helmet has several upgrades available, detailed below.
