Kerbals shouldn't have infinite EVA pack refuels


Recommended Posts

That's something I've wondered about as well. Sure, it may be kinda cheaty, but in the end it's saved my hide a couple of times. Who knows when you'll have to get out and push your spacecraft back home?

All in all, if it was changed to drain the monopropellant, then I would approve of the change. At least it'll give more of a reason command pods have RCS storage now. Hmm.... What if that was the reason it was added? Just not implemented yet?

I actually contemplated "blowing" a ship home today. There is no reason why you could not use an oxygen supply as a propellent in an emergency. However, the astronaut may wish to breath first, so we'd end up with CO2 as the propellent. Blown, as compressing it and moving it from the cabin to the engine nozzel (in this case a drinking straw ;) ) would give some propulsion. A tiny fraction of one, but one none the less! :D

It would be nice if whatever RCS the EVA uses (compressed gas?) was what was in the pod, and that got used up. I'd like to see the game ad a very low thrust RCS cluster very early in the tech tree with some program/mission/contract (I hate the term contract) support for orbital maneuvering with RCS as a learning tool for new players.
