| − | + | With low resource costs, accessible research, and the ability to be worn over [[flak vest]]s, flak jackets can provide useful protection in the early-mid game. | |
| − | + | However, you should prioritize creating flak vests first. Vests are cheaper, provide ''much'' more armor (base 100% Sharp, 36% Blunt, 27% heat) and cover everything the jacket does except for the arms - which can eventually be [[prosthetic arm|replaced]]. This does not mean jackets are bad - just create them after everybody is outfited with flak vests. | |
| − | + | Note that [[devilstrand]] [[duster]]s are almost strictly superior. They provide slightly more sharp & blunt protection, significantly more heat insulation, protect the legs, and have no movement speed penalty - their only statistical downside being a tiny decrease in cold insulation. Devilstrand has the advantage of being growable, unlike steel. Mid-late game colonies are often able to grow sufficient amounts of the textile. Other late-game materials, such as [[Hyperweave]] and [[Thrumbofur]], are rarer, but offer even more protection. | |
Due to the speed and coverage detriments of flak jackets, even dusters of strong [[leathers]], like [[rhinoceros leather]] may be preferable despite offering slightly less protection to the upper body. | Due to the speed and coverage detriments of flak jackets, even dusters of strong [[leathers]], like [[rhinoceros leather]] may be preferable despite offering slightly less protection to the upper body. | ||
