ID card

An ID card is one of the most important pieces of equipment you can have. It allows you to open Airlocks, and be identified by other people, amongst other things.

Your ID card is equipped in the id slot, when you are wearing a Jumpsuit. If you take your jumpsuit off, you will also drop your ID card. Your ID card will publicly display a name and a job. Additionally, the card will have a set of permissions contained within it. These control which doors you can open - you will have to ask somebody else or the AI to open the door for you if you don't have high enough permissions.

You can have your job changed and your permissions upgraded by talking to the Captain or the Head of Personnel, who should have access to a machine. You will have to give them your card (by putting it on a table or dropping it) in order for them to change your details.

Moving around with no ID card will list you as 'Unknown' to people who look at you.

You can appear as other people by taking their card and equipping it instead of your own.
