Mag boots?

[Northpin]

So i guess frontier have said that magnetic boots will allow walking around in starports in odessey. The concept seems hilarious to imagine. Will people be able to walk up walls and walk on the ceiling? Can you jump? Can you jump from one wall to the other wall? And if you are functionally weightless, can you carry a ton ? I can just imagine someone getting shot with a kinetic weapon and bending over like a blade of grass and then standing back up because their feet stayed attached.

Check The Expanse.
I did not found it hilarious.

You can do all this in Space Engineers. It is very disorienting to walk on the ceiling after being used to walking on the floor. Personally I prefer gravity, but I suppose acrobats would enjoy zero-G with mag boots.

I’ve never liked the idea of mag boots. They seemed agonizing. My little feet trying to keep my body in balance with bruises all around.

Plus, why are we snapping ourselves to the ground and trying to walk in a horrible way when we can just float effortlessly?

Where did they say that? Would like to read it if someone would be kind enough to rpovide a link.

FA OFF FOR FEET CONFIRMED

Where was that confirmed? Would like to read it if someone would be kind enough to rpovide a link.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I want to see:

• Suits with jet packs and mag/traction boots behaving similarly to SVRs in some ways.
• Two suit modes similar to FA-on and FA-off in some ways.
• BONUS: 0g fighting (probably at a later date if ever)!!!

The things I don't want to see:

• NPCs/players falling "down" like 1G when they die in .01g.
• Coffie staying in an open cup on a table in an outpost and other things like that which wouldn't happen.

It was confirmed in the big live stream last week.

Specifically for outposts though, not star ports as the op incorrectly stated.

Ps Retropitan was joking.

There were no details but my assumption is outposts will just behave normally (ie you just walk about). They're only social hubs so no combat.

The stream confirmed that gravity will impact combat. Though that was to say grenades will be impacted. Didn't say anything about ragdoll physics or coffee.

My second immediate guess is there won't be coffee.
