Here's
more shopping options (when I know I said I was trying to help you along!).
A desert suit per man (1000Cr inegrated with your armour) would really help Inchin to be bearable and the TL13 (NB available on Collace only) Fusion stile with solar powered compressor would actually be "priceless". The other items are options and the sort of kit you'll run into on Inchin.
I also found the "coldsled" (included at the bottom).
Desert Suit, Advanced (TL 9): An all-in-one suit designed to
minimize moisture loss by trapping sweat between the porous inner
layer and impermeable outer one. The suit is refl ectorised to reduce
the heating eff ect of the sun (though a dulled or camoufl age option
is also available). It includes a hood, face mask and goggles. Cr.
1,000.
Complete Hydro-Reclamation Suit (CHRS) (TL 11): This complete
coverage bodysuit is designed to recycle all of a body’s fl uids
and wastes back into usable materials for the body in order to
survive much longer in a desert or other arid environment. Like its
predecessors, the suit is reflectorised to reduce the heating effect of
the sun. It covers the entire body, covering all orifices and inserting
several ‘replenishment’ tubes into the body. Wearing an empty
CHRS can effectively allow the character to go up to thirty days
without needing water and fifteen days without food before needing
to have its internal scrubbers and injectors cleaned. Cr. 10,000; 6
kg.
Hydro-collector (TL 11): An oval-shaped bowl of sorts sitting atop
a wide-footed tripod nearly a metre tall when extended, the hydrocollector
uses tiny electromagnetic pulses to draw moisture out of
the air and collect it as drinkable water. One eight-hour collection
session will provide a certain amount of drinking water depending
on the average humidity in the local atmosphere. In arid areas this
will produce enough water for one man-day. In temperate areas;
three man-days. In moist or humid areas; fi ve man-days. The device
is solar powered and recharges while it is collecting, in most cases.
Cr. 1,000; 8kg.
Solar Vaporator (TL 10): A device using solar panels to generate
power during the day (and storing it in an internal battery) and
collect moisture from the air, especially at night. Yields 2 litres of
water per 24 hours in standard or dense atmospheres, 1 litre per 24
hours in thin atmospheres and half a litre per 24 hours in very thin
atmospheres. The Vaporator is stored in a compact (50 cm x 20 cm
x 20 cm) package and is unfolded for use. Cr.1,250.
Fusion Stile (TL 13): A fusion stile is built around a small fusion unit
which will run continuously for 5 years. The stile has a hopper which
can take fluids or organic matter. Collection areas within the stile
allow potable water to be extracted, or a just-about-edible nutrient
product normally known as “glop”. The exact composition of glop
varies depending upon what is put into the stile and in some cases
vital nutrients will be missing. The stile’s readout advises the user
as to how good (nutritionally speaking) his or her glop will be today
but even the best technology cannot make glop taste any better.
Glop can be output as dry, jaw-busting bars or a damp and fairly
disgusting porridge. The stile can also be set to simply produce pure
water, or water with a high mineral content. The stile has a power output
socket and a cable for recharging items like powered tools and includes two rechargeable hand lamps which can be connected by cable or taken elsewhere. They will run for six hours if unplugged. It also has a built-in light unit and a heater that can be used to warm a shelter or to provide localized heat for
cooking. Marooned starfarers with a fusion stile will usually find their food
and water needs are taken care of. However, many users cite the
stile’s food output as the single greatest drain on their will to live.
Fortunately, the stile can also be used to distil alcoholic beverages
into spirits for medicinal or recreational use. Cr. 4,500.
NB To add a solar power option and filter/compressor unit for Inchin's atmosphere to the above 500Cr.
Cryoberth (TL 10): A cryoberth, or ‘icebox’ is a coffin-shaped machine
similar to the low or frozen berths used on some spacecraft. The main
difference is that a cryoberth works much faster than a low berth,
freezing and preserving its occupant almost instantly. A cryoberth can
be used to place a severely injured individual into stasis until medical
treatment can be provided. A cryoberth’s internal power system
can function for up to one week on its own but a berth is usually
connected to a vehicle’s power supply. Wt. 200 Kg, Cr. 50,000.
