Sky Kerman Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I think the chutes should also be color able. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James M Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I dunno about you but I feel that cargo logistics should be mostly optional. For example, while I love the idea of Konstruction that 1.11 added, it also brought forth the issue of managing what items kerbals were bringing along as cargo and their exact weight (such as parachutes). While this isn't such a big deal really, to newer players it might be overwhelming to think about. The best solution in my opinion? Parachutes for kerbals if nothing else should be mandatory. Yes I realize you might have a mun base and the kerbals will never use it there, but on the off chance you're screaming through some other celestial body's atmosphere with your ship quickly falling apart, and desperately want your kerbal to survive, a parachute might just be your last and best option.

Cavscout74 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I've had a 6-kerbal crew have to bail out of a the remains of a spaceplane that suffered a catastrophic engine explosion while climbing through 6000m, so I'm all for keeping the parachutes. And hoping someone will make a part failure mod for KSP2, cause it sure keeps things interesting.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandaman Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 As a (potentially vital) piece of equipment, then yes they should absolutely be an available option IMO. But I think it should always be an option to choose whether or not you take them . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Kerman Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I would love to see them bring back EVA parachutes in KSP2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be nice to have some quick defaults for a specific craft, because having to go through and manually edit each member of the crew is a bit of a drag. But otherwise, I like the system we have in KSP latest, where both parachute and EVA pack are optional equipment, and you can chose to bring extra propellant, repair packs, or some other hardware instead. So hopefully, Intercept is paying attention to KSP updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that the system is new to us, and therefore we haven't neccesarily got into the habit of checking before we launch yet. But being able to 'configure' the default crew load out (maybe even as far as defining crew types (how many Pilots, Engineers, Scientists etc.) not just the kit they each carry, as part of the 'design' is a nice idea.
