EVA Suits

[KSPFanatic102]

To : Squad

So now squad have only made 1 suit for the entire game and never updated it , it is very old by now , so i have a new suggestion today

New Eva Suits

Before i begin this let me just tell you these 3 points

1- I know there are mods which replace the Eva suits and texturing

2- I may have revived this idea if someone made a topic about this before but i have no knowledge of it

3- I think my idea is different than what mods do and what you think

Okay know that i have said those let me begin

1-The Concept

I think new eva suits should be implemented and i have a new way to do it

instead of implementing 1 new suit to replace it with the current one

then how about if we make a suit for each body , for example if i was in Vacuum i would share one suit in EVA like the "Extravehicular Mobility Unit" or EMU which i think is already implemented but in the Kerbal Face screen inside a vessel they're suits would just be an "Advanced Crew Escape Suit" or ACES the same ones used in the real life Shuttle program , and if i landed on mun i would have a Apollo Lunar suit , And i if i landed on Duna i would have some futuristic looking suit maybe like the Z-2 or the Martian Looking one , In which i think for the suits to switch between Vaccum and a Planet would be really awesome and i will explain how it can be made , if a spacecraft enters a planet's atmosphere the suit would set to that planet eva suit if the kerbal would eva , and for a planet which has no atmosphere , Once a spacecraft reaches 10 km above the surface it would switch to that planet suit , tell me what do you think about what  Eve , Moho , Joolian System , Eeloo , Dres suits should look like below , also note: i think the joolian system would just have one suit for it to make it simple and not complicated.

(Or Maybe the Z-2 suit could be implemented to be set with Eve , Joolian System , Eeloo , Dres )

2- Pictures

The Picture below shows the Apollo suits , ACES , and the EMU suit and the Gemini and Mercury , i think the gemini suit should be a suit that would be later upgraded to the ACES Internal suit

also the Futuristic Z-2 and the Martian Space Suits

3- Why i think it should be implemented

This Idea would be making KSP a whole lot better and cooler espacially the fact that we have different space suits for each body , tell me what do you think of this idea below

Only thing  KSP needs is spacesuit without collar and let modders take the rest

Basically, modders already have Texture Replacer and KIS for this.

i know im just explaining the idea that you can switch between them like from Vaccum to Duna

[KSPFanatic102]

maybe the Z-2 Suit could be set to Eve , Joolian System , Dres , Eeloo.

And for moho...

about the collar thing ,

i think they just have to reduce it in size , rather than removing it all

Yes.

[Kerbart]

On the positive side, it's cool and it would certainly be more realistic

On the negative side, I genuinely feel that it's "realism for the sake of realism" and not adding substantial game play.

The only thing I'd like to see in stock is that Kerbals on EVA in a breathable atmosphere would not were a helmet, like TextureReplacer does right now. No collar would be an added bonus.

I think it's a good idea. Since it's a cosmetic change, it might not need to be a high priority idea, but I see no downside to this other than dev time.

[KSPFanatic102]

also is there any cool spacesuits that you think would be cool to add?

[Ferdoni]

i like the martian spacesuit or maybe those from interstellar. but not too many differences

You can with Texure Replacer, so long as you are ok with going back to the KSC scene and switching it before you EVA on another body.

Well i said in the post that it would automatically do it without having to do that

and the new suit designs would be cool to implement in the game instead of having it as a mod

I couldn't agree more, nor could the Chairkerb...

Nothing on you personally, but you should know that "this would make KSP better and cooler" and "because we'd have whatever it is I just suggested" are about the worst possible reasons to use to convince people to implement your suggestion.

What specifically is better about a KSP with your idea than KSP as it is? Does it, for example, make it more immersive? Does it make it more educational? Think about why SQUAD would want to put all that work in.

i don't need to have a point to suggest and idea

i just suggested it anyways , in my point i think the game will improve

so don't criticize me on that

You're proposing something that would require someone else to put forth the effort to implement. So yes, you do need a reason beyond "I think it's kewl." Otherwise, you've virtually guaranteed that your idea will fall by the wayside. Simple as that.

So, back to the questions problemecium posed; what's the benefit?

Visual Enhancement? Realism?

well, you shouldnt implement something that does require action and just for estatics. it should go automatically or put it in the settings for example

Out of curiosity here, mostly because of the above quote: what if any programming and computer graphics modeling both 2 and 3d do you have? I ask out of genuine curiosity. My own limited coding experience and from both what ive seen in discussions here and conversations with my ex gf who has a bachelors in computer science has told/shown me nothing is ever simple and always takes a good amount of time.
