How do you expect IVA to change in 1.0 and in further releases?

[Tex]

Simple enough question on an interesting enough topic.

Personally, I would want to see further ability to explore the interior of spacecrafts, though this might indeed put a considerable strain on some player's rigs. It would also be incredibly neat to be able to interact with switches and buttons on control panels. Furthermore, IVAs would be incredible if you could do so on EVA (an IVA-EVA. LOL ), and especially on the surface.

What would you guys think to be good things to speculate on with regards to IVA?

Since frizzank is doing IVA, I demand a cornbeef sandwich in each IVA he makes.

Nothing will change in regards to interacting with IVA, IMO. We can certainly hope for more props and information but I wouldn't hold my breath. Otherwise frizzank will likely do an excellent job with the remaining IVAs, which will then be picked up by the community and RPM'd.

I hope that they make an overhaul of existing IVA also

[SaturnV]

I hope it's possible to take a vessel to orbit only sitting in the pod which means more info display and more interactive buttons

[Wabbit]

A stage ignitor would be great.

Yeah I don't imagine it will change radically for 1.0, but maybe 1.1 or 1.2 could delve more deeply into kerbal life, finishing the Skills and Experience system, creating randomized kerbal appearance for new recruits, further development on making science experiments fun, maybe life support and making IVA more interesting. A little bit ago I suggested a cut-away view that would let you easily see and move resources about a vessel and also let you move kerbals from one module to another without EVA. It would also be cool if as part of an experiments overhaul you could do more things from inside the science module, like loading materials into the materials bay, processing experiment results, managing data more clearly, etc.

It is now, it's just difficult to judge

It'll be interesting to see the inside of the Mobile Processing Lab. Hopefully it'll be a proper (if small) lab with all sorts of science equipment, and test tube racks for surface samples. And a computer where the scientists calculate their results and write lab reports.

The Mk3 passenger module will hopefully look like the inside of a passenger plane, with more metal showing.

Maybe not too much like a plane or i can't use it on Space Station ahahah

[Robotengineer]

I don't expect it to change much, certainly nothing drastic like RPM style screens or in craft movement. I just hope frizzank puts some interesting props in the IVA's. The stock IVA's are terribly boring.

[Mr Tegu]

be nice if you could crawl and float around inside space stations

[dryer_lint]

Moving around in a stable scenario (space station) would be great. It would make stations a bit more fun, because at the moment they're just floating metal...

I also can't wait to see the inside of the Lab. And the Mk2 Crew Capsule... it seems weirdly small.

[LABHOUSE]

I do not think it will change much any time soon, but I hope it will get:

A button that when you right clicked a kerbal in their seat, it would say get out of seat. Ability to go around floating in command pods (and other parts) aimlessly and being able to right click the doors at the back of the cockpits to go to whatever is behind it. A small cabnet (like the rock box in the mk2 lander can).

[Jetenginestar]

Larger cockpit windows so that I can and land planes IVA xD

Those would be Nice and Neat too!
