Flotation Devices

[Scoutman1121]

(Alright if this is in the don't post list sorry, I cant find it. Also could someone give me the link to that thread please?)

 

Alright, so here's my suggestion. You miscalculate your landing on Eve. It is your first time on Eve, and don't know what the oceans look like, neither the surface. And then BOOM! You slam into the Eve ocean. With this, your scientific lander is smashed. Now it was all for nothing. What if you could install flotation devices? If they were to add, it would help in making bases on the water. There could be two different types of the flotation devices. Expandable, and Permanent. The Permanent one does not expand or inflate. It stays inflated unless it is destroyed. The expandable one can expand and inflate. By the way that scenario happened to me the first time I went to Eve :P. Anyways, this could open up a huge amount of possibilities. If you use the Maritime mod, you could make a harbor and put your boats there. So then, you'd be able to create underwater harbors for your submarines! (Don't forget it is still possible to create submarines in stock version.) Just think of everything you'd be able to create.

USI survivability? I think it adds flotation devices like on Apollo spacecraft

Empty fuel tanks and inflatable fairings work quite well for making things float, if you want a stock solution.

Still, it would be nice to get a handful of stock "boat" type pieces.

Tell me more about these inflatable fairings.

I think I meant inflatable heat shields.

That being said, I suspect that the fairings from Procedural Fairings, though not inflatable, would probably work quite well as flotation devices (I will have to test this).

Ah right, that makes more sense.
