Concerning Tool Kits

I know a few nations have them for their militaries engineers. But I'm not sure if Yamatai does. So really the question is, does Yamatai have a tool kit for engineers? Could be anything from a tool belt with assorted materials, to a little tackle box-style toolkit. I can't seem to find it if we do.
 
Unfortunately all we have written up right now is the very old civilian tool kits and the (deliberately somewhat vague) rolling tool lockers. I'd welcome a tool kit submission for the Star Army of Yamatai.

Technician and engineer players, I'm looking at you for help with this.
 
Engineers are already a bit of a reading-demanding occupation out of necessity. It might be better to keep tools a bit vague, if only so people don't have a certain amount of pressure to use the right Space Tool for the right Space Problem in their text, even if it doesn't really matter.

Though, that's just me, I suppose.
 
Emrys Industries has two kits

EM-G17-1a Basic Tool Kit
EM-G17-2a Repair Kit
 
When it comes to the 44th, I'm expecting a blend of tools engineers like Gally know exist, stuff someone reasonably believes they're going to need and stuff they can find in toolkits on the site.

For nonengineer characters such as Ruri, Yukari and Rolf, the bracelets will be the "toolkits."

In case that's why you were wondering. ^_^
 
It's more that we seem to lack a dedicated toolkit for the YSE. Could use the Emry's one. But it only covers so much. I remember back in the day there were references to the rolling tool lockers Wes mentioned.

It could be a good idea if someone made a kit that perhaps was a compromise between the two, or had a 'basic' and 'advanced' version for more extensive repairs.
 
The Emrys one is what Star Army of Yamatai personnel would use for a hand-carried one. It was made pretty recently. If we need something more, we could make a suggestion to Emrys for an updated version.

Is there anything that can be created that would fill this role or is there something on the wiki that I am missing in regards to toolkits? I know I used one on the Eucharis, the butt pack that many have equipped.
 
What exactly are you looking for?
