A KSP Loading... Preview: Helmet Removal


SQUAD

Recommended Posts

@SQUAD This is a small but significant and welcome change! Thank you for listening to the player requests for this feature! Well done!

It would be extremely helpful if the death by vacuum feature could be overridden by a mod for certain story purposes. Some like to make sets out of parts that look like the interior of a spacecraft. Just ask @JustJim about that.. :)

Ooh, this is super cool! I have a mechanics question, though: when kerbals run out of oxygen, is there/can we have some sort of early warning? Like with g-force, there's an orange warning about "x kerman is nearing g-force limits" before they pass out from the g-force and you get the red message that 'x has passed out from g-forces'

You can not just remove the helmet, but remove the neck ring aswell!!!! Story creators like @Just Jim will love this!!

Excited for the lack of helmet rings.

That is great! The ability to separately toggle the neck ring is very nice and useful for storytelling/machinima stuff.

This^^^^

That would be nice also.

Just a thought, could we have it programmed that on EVA they could remove their helmets on the mun but only within a closed cargo bay... utilising the same mechanic that hides parts from aerodynamic forces?

Then part mods that have domes or whatnot could add the module to their parts, allowing for 'short sleeved' environments to be built.

Peace.

Something like this would be great to have.. a module that defines boundaries in which shirtsleeve environment lets you remove the helmet and collar. Optionally the ability to disable the death penalty or the ability for mods to override that feature.

Yea, I had wondered about using the cargo bay module before, with TR but it seemed beyond scope of the mod at the time.  That way we can dock in a Mk3 cargo bay, then close the pod bay doors:) and exit the craft.  When MechJeb opens the cargo bay door, poof goes the kerbal.

Surely this then would be an easy tweak to make before 1.6 :) Hint @SQUAD?
