Updated for compatibility with the Europa update.

Europa Suit - oxygen capacity increased to 2.5 hours supply, with low-oxygen caution set at 30 minutes and low-oxygen warning set to 10 minutes remaining supply. The logic here was that the PLSS on the Europa suit looks to be about half the size of the Medium Suit and therefore about half the oxygen supply seems reasonable. Additionally, an oxygen supply of less than 2.5 hours is impractical for surface EVAs, as it leave insufficient duration to perform tasks once contingency and safety margins are considered. Radiation shielding reduced to 50% (same as Heavy Suit), as a wearable shield capable of stopping 98% of high-energy particles in a vaccum seems improbable.

Dry Suit - oxygen capacity increased to 5 hours supply, with low-oxygen caution set at 30 minutes and low-oxygen warning set to 10 minutes remaining supply, based on the capabilities of a modern civilian electronic closed-circuit rebreather.
