Geschosskopf Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 So, we got new suits in the BG DLC. And they're pretty good. EXCEPT for 1 thing... Jeb, Bill, Bob, and Val now have white suits, and all the scrubs now have orange. WHY?!?!?!?!?!? It's been the other way around since KSP began and so much KSP lore has gone into distinguishing the orange-suited original 3 er 4 from the scrubs. Furthermore, all the in-game Kerbal icons, such as in the astronaut complex, still show Jeb, Bill, Bob, and Vall in orange suits and the rest in scrubs. But when you actually see them in-game, it's bass-ackwards. I cannot express how much I Hate this. One of my major pet peeves is when a phone or Windows update CHANGES THE FRIGGIN' ICONs, especially their color, so all my habits go by the boards and I click the wrong app. Is there a way to reverse this nonsense, so Jeb, Bill, Bob, and Val exclusively have orange suits and the scrubs whatever?

I just was xkcd'ed due complaining about a break that happened on a code that was working fine for 5 years and got broken due an (apparently) unnecessary change on the class' signature.

Geschosskopf Posted June 3, 2019 Author Share Posted June 3, 2019 Back on topic, I found there's a way to change the color of the Breaking Ground suits. Here's a video by Inter's Odyssey explaining the process. As it happens, you can make the male and females different colors if you want, but there's no distinction between vets and scrubs. But at least you can keep the scrubs from wearing orange https://youtu.be/1eVfZcVcB_s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pthigrivi Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) I've suggested this elsewhere but I'd love to see them give suit colors by class--blue for pilots, red for engineers, green for scientists, and orange for the original 4.

As a long-time user of IVA Icons before we had that as stock, and then of Ceteras' Suits, I prefer red for pilots, yellow for engineers, and blue for scientists. And, of course, orange both IVA and EVA for the Big 3 er 4. So I say just make suit color editable to whatever you want based on class and also Big 4 status.

By the same associative logic, - red = fire/rocket exhaust; also Shuttle LES/ACES suits (orange, granted…) = pilots/redshirts - blue = dungarees = engineers/technicians - green = plants, chlorine, radioluminescence = biologists/chemists/physicists As I said, standards… ; ) Edited June 6, 2019 by Corax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klgraham1013 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Okay. Fine. I'll try and justify my color scheme as well. Pilots - Red - Red makes rockets go faster? Engineers - Yellow - Danger yellow?? Construction warnings?? Scientists - Blue - Water's a chemical right? I think those justifications are sound. All other opinions are invalid.
