You actually learn this from some of his backstory in later content. Wearing it makes the most sense.Ĭ: Isaac is broke AF. Since his basic 'uniform' isn't one of the fancy suits with the collapsible built in helmets, he had to either wear it all the time or carry it in his arm. While the security and data specialist didn't have helmets, I feel that makes sense since Isaac was the only person whom would even consider needing to deal with hull breaches. It was supposed to be a simple "go fix their damn radio" job so there was no apparent need for something more 'protective'.ī: The helmet would be considered Standard Operating Procedure when you send an engineer on a job on a space ship. It's not really meant to be actively used in space for extended durations, as evidenced by the ridiculously low air capacity. My personal theory is the following points:Ī: The suit is actually just the standard CEC engineer UNIFORM. Isaac is just a regular dude doing a regular mining job. You wouldn’t send a construction worker wearing a bullet proof vest and combat webbing to go explore a job site if the foreman hasn’t called you, you’d probably just send a regular dude to go see. Meant for work in a variety of different conditions, not combat. In addition, there are better and tougher suits that were commonly used so it’s not like they were chumps in that category. It’s natural to assume that the ship would still be fully staffed, mostly functional, and decently equipped and if any further gear was needed, the ship would already have it. They just sent a small crew to go check and to assist if needed. The company obviously wouldn’t think a full blown alien infestation would have killed everyone with deadly creatures roaming the ship decks. Also, their mission was to just check up on the Ishimura after it went dark. That suit may not look like much but for a human race that has mastered deep space travel it probably does everything that an engineer would need it to do and satisfies the job requirements. Just like how a computer decades ago could fill a room but now my phone that’s hundreds of times more powerful and faster fits in my pocket. Modern day suits are so big and bulky because we are still relatively new to space exploration, especially the humans in space part.
