The [[marine helmet]] costs only {{Icon Small|plasteel}} 10 [[plasteel]] more, and the [[cataphract helmet]]{{RoyaltyIcon}}, {{Icon Small|plasteel}} 20 [[plasteel]]. Once you've [[research]]ed and are capable of making the heavier helmets, there is little reason to make a recon helmet. Unlike the body armors, none of the helmets slow movement speed. It is often worth to wait until you've finished researching [[Research#Marine armor|Marine armor]] and just make marine helmets instead. Note that, in order to research [[Research#Cataphract armor|Cataphract armor]], you will need to obtain 2 [[techprint]]s first. | The [[marine helmet]] costs only {{Icon Small|plasteel}} 10 [[plasteel]] more, and the [[cataphract helmet]]{{RoyaltyIcon}}, {{Icon Small|plasteel}} 20 [[plasteel]].
