I have many a faceless or partial faced space guy. Often this is because they
take their helmets off or try to go around without their air packs, or
occasionally, one of them found an alien body of water whose chlorine
concentration was too high to protect them even with the imaginary force field.
The best protection does seem to be the blacktron style opaque visor, but this
often causes them to crash their ships. Honestly, my space troops have changed
heads so many times, it is hard for me to know exactly why some of them lost
their faces. :)
