Editing Gear (section)

=== Mass and Encumberance ===
A character who is carrying too much gear should be slowed down, suffering negative modifiers both to their movement rates and their skill tests. Rather than micromanaging the weights of individual pieces of equipment, however, this matter is largely left to the gamemaster’s discretion, using common sense. If a character loads up beyond reason, apply modifiers as seem appropriate. The gamemaster should, however, keep in mind that many of the manufacturing materials used in Eclipse Phase allow for items that are much lighter than current standards without any loss of durability or function (see Future Materials).

Likewise, characters in low or microgravity environments can carry much larger loads.
