Terror versus slave apparel

Terror as a method of slave control has a number of key flaws that make it all but untenable outside of a few, very niche uses. Terror sources are inherently static, the radii of their effects are small, and as soon as slaves leave the area, or fall asleep, suppression begins to decay. Meanwhile, slave apparel - slave collars and body straps, are sufficient to eliminate suppression loss by themselves but have none of these downsides. So long as they are worn and no further apparel that causes further suppression loss is used, slaves can be kept at 100% suppression indefinitely.

The only exceptions are where are other apparel needs interfere with wearing the items. The slave collar is almost unique in its coverage, and has it can be added to almost any outfit, but the slave body strap's use of the outer layer places in direct competition with both insulative and protective options such as the parka, duster, and power armors. Instances where this is true are rare however - flak vests are compatible and offer sufficient protection in most instances, while tribalwear, shadecones, tuques, corsets/formal vests (the penalty of which is also canceled out with both straps and collar), temperature genes, can all improve temperature resistance and make it possible to survive in relatively extreme environments. As such, slave apparel is almost always the preferred method.
