It is one of those things that is used in the show and comes up every now and then - surviving in space without being an Arcosian!
I suggest we have a spacesuit added with the following text:
Spacesuit: This fancy life support gear will help you survive everything from hard vacuum to the bottom of the sea. It has enough internal oxygen to survive for 24 hours, and comes in a range of fashionable styles and colours! [500 zeni]
I'd also add something pretty much the same to the android shop along these lines:
Environmental Hardening: Through reinforcing the android's internal structure and coating the skin with a gloss to deflect radiation, the android can now survive indefinitely in high-pressure environments, and even the vacuum of space! [1000 zeni]
(I'm suggesting androids pay more because 1) they could buy a spacesuit if they really wanted it cheaper, 2) spacesuits can be broken/punctured/damaged easier than internal upgrades and 3) it doesn't make much sense for me for the android version to have a time limit)
Thoughts?

Few things I'd like to first point out--Androids can already survive in space ICly. Its reflected in the durability trait just like the arcosian's although, perhaps, it ought to be written out. They don't need to have a flavor shop item for "pressure" because people generally already train under weight/gravity. I don't think making them pay (or pay more) is fair and necessary.
That said, I like the over-all idea. I'd increase the "survive" time-limit to 48 hours to match the technique Atmos.

I'd definitely write it out - the fact that Arcosians have it written down and Androids don't makes it seem like Arcosians work differently.
I deliberately left it as a little less than the Atmos technique so that there was still a reason to get both, but 48 hours seems fine.

Why wouldn't an Android just be able to buy a pressurized spacesuit? Why would they have to spend more money for a space overhaul? Satellites and their internal electronics can already survive in space, and their hardening is not an expensive process -- they just dump more silicon on the chips, sometimes with the inclusion of a lead plate and added foil. There were plenty of older satellites with none of this, and they still worked fine for long periods. And if an Android's skin can withstand a blockbuster ki blast, it stands to reason it could for sure withstand a cosmic ray. I'd rather have spacesuits and the like being one of those freebie RP items as I think at this point in the timeline the things that comprise it would be as fairly ubiquitous as PTO armor, etc. You can't expect to survive forever in space, but you can use it for some threads if you want to go into space during it.

I already said in the post that they could buy the spacesuit if they wanted it cheaper. The idea was that they could pay MORE to have one that couldn't be punctured.
That said, I am absolutely fine with spacesuits being a free RP'able item as well - in which case I think it should be added to the store as a free item to make that clear to people. I've seen three or four conversations revolving around whether there is any way to survive in space outside Atmos or being an arcosian in the time I've been here, so it would be nice to have some clarity.

I like the idea of the item, especially because it's so cheap. It'd give an easy way for reasearcher type characters to ICly explain how they can just hang out on Arcose or something.

I feel it should be a flavor item.
