Specter has kind of wildly high stats considering that it gets jump boots and only 5% slowdown.
IMO jump boots have the most utility with a slow suit that can use them for bursts of speed - think titanfall mechs?

For reference the TDF hardsuits with 5% slowdown has only like, 30% pierce&heat, and even then its too strong to be player savable.

We're willing to put the movement slowdown to 10%, but at the moment bloodreds sit at 50% flat everything with 15% slowdown. UI combat Mk.1 has 17% slowdown with 60% pierce. The slowdown can be 10% with a flat 40 pierce resist?

Testing it in game (ignore broken sprites, I only copied over the YAML:
Quick note, theres a spelling error in the specter hardsuit ("Spector helmet")

Wraith softsuit blatantly gives you fullbright (advertised as thermals, though it doesn't highlight enemies or anything, its just fullbright night vision), which none of the other mercenary suits I've come across have access to. For reference is the very best mercenary-available night vision I have found, versus Ghostlight wraith.

Wraith softsuit also has extremely good, dare I say meta explosion resist for its minuscule 1% slowdown.

Spectre hardsuit!
This is what reasonable night vision for a T3 suit looks like. 👍

Its jump gets you two tiles further than jump boots do, without using your boot slot, which allows you to use them alongside magboots with no trade off. You may be asking, "Nox, that doesn't sound so bad!" but this allows for a extremely powerful ability on gravity-less grids: jump, then turn off your magboots mid-air to keep moving RAPIDLY as far as you want. Normally this tech is available to jump boots, but only if you leap off of a grid that has gravity, or rapidly swap to a pair of moonboots on a grid with gravity. The ability to do this on _any_ spaced grid is unique to the ghostlights faction and exceptionally powerful.

Not factoring in the super jumps, Spectre hardsuit is easily the best hardsuit in terms of protection to slowdown ratio. A 10% slowdown would fix this, but it needs to have some sort of downside for the ultra powerful movement tech it offers. Personally, I would reccomend a bigger slowdown, like 20 or 25%, both to justify the jump jets and its stompy walk noise.

In summary, I don't feel that a player ran, player operated faction should have the best gear in the game. The best gear should be restricted and not ship-savable so it can't be abused, and not just given to whoever wants to join the ghostlights. These suits seem fucking awesome so I'd love to see them implemented, just not at the current power level.

…'s explosion resistance to 20%. Removed G-500's jump boots, it now has a built in jetpack and 20% slowdown (jetpacks are heavy).

We fixed up some stats :). Adjusted G-27's thermals to be blink and not permanent, adjusted G-27's explosion resistance to 20%. Removed G-500's jump boots, it now has a built in jetpack and 20% slowdown (jetpacks are heavy). Both Ox and I were totally unaware of the jump boot trick thank you for pointing it out o7

Wuffindy

did a sweeping, mainly regarding naming, consistencies and typos for now, stat wise looks solid, and sprites looks pretty good on a glance, but didn't checked the details yet

good PR overall though
