Make an opportunity to exit the ship from space…and yes I’m still looking forward to have an arcade 3rd person view
Space swimming
- Thread starter Gromozeka69
- Start date
I remember hearing way back yonder that Braben planned for EVA content during the initial Kickstarter conceptualization. One of the many scrapped ideas. Might be cool but, I wouldn't bank on it now.
so... swimming in space eh. I think newton's third law might want to have a word with you.
If I remember correctly, back around the time of Odyssey launch there was a bug that could be exploited to catapult yourself into space from inside a station concourse or hangar.
The animations for spacewalking weren't in place, of course (I think your avatar defaulted to a "falling" pose) but I seem to recall the relevant physics were there in a rudimentary fashion. You could somewhat manoeuvre using your pack thrusters (albeit with not enough control to do anything meaningful), your suit recognised you were now in vacuum, etc.

Yeah it was possible to 'walk' on a ship for example in space, but when away from a surface you couldn't roll so the movement was missing that element. But it wasn't intended or designed for eva, just (sort of) worked if you could get up there:

I thought I would leave this here. There's another vid I saw on this topic but couldn't find it. Enjoy
