How to make Kerbals awesomer.

[Kruleworld]

Hello, it would be nice to see the g-forces taking visible effects on the kerbals during takeoff/new animation:

I think these are AMAZING ideas

[Lord Orion]

All great immersive ideas, these would make great mods. But the base game needs little of the content to be playable in an endstate kerbal (v1.0). Honestly good stuff tho.

[montyben101]

Id love to see this in the game, perhaps someone could make a mod for this? (and the g forces too)

[praise the suuun]

Yes please .

[Dodgey]

Can...can this be a thing

YES YES YES... awesome work man

[JiWint]

more than half of the stuff I saw here is probably in the mods section :3

[martin.stejskal]

it should be good to know the kerbals weight in the their stats :-) each kilo is counted for the orbit insertion or jet pack performance in gravity.

Yes, but those are things that should make it into stock KSP as they mostly will add and fit in with the basic feel and gameplay. In some case i dont understand modders, as they rush forward with things, like there is no tomorrow... With things that will get implemented for sure. Better to take a deep breath sometimes, instead of run run run.

The rounded head idea works...Really well actually!

I think you've certainly got a good idea with the random generation. Make this a thing Squad!

I dont know how many people have been watching Scott Manley's interstellar series but using kerbals to replace and repair parts on EVA really does add something to the game. Another nice little bit of animation would be for kerbals to bust out picks/drills test tubes when taking surface samples.

I am loving these suggestions! The only thing I think might be not so good is the female Kerbals. I believe the Devs have already stated they don't plan on female Kerbals. Keep thinking, these are all really great!

Maxmaps has officially stated that female Kerbals (or "Girlbals") Are planned.

[Whirligig Girl]

Please check the What not to Suggest and Already Suggested lists - female Kerbals and Kerbal customisation are among the topics we ask people to refrain from.

Backseat moderator?

I imagine the folks at Nasa finally talked some sense into them

Jk Im sure they have plenty to work on.

Anyway we "arent talking about this".

I'd love to see some more kerbal variety other than them waving their hands and adjusting their helmets while on orbit.. So i'm in for this idea!

Although Kerbal looks like a finished game, I do remember it's only in 0.23 Many things will be added.

I'm also starting to get bored about Kerbals, i wish the A7L Space suit (Used by Apollo Program)

Don't like the fact the head is bigger than the body...

If they change the size of the head because of you, well...

the female kerbals you drew are the best concept ive seen i really think squad should have a muck around with those models

also i like some of the dimorphism, like the girls being slightly shorter and sloping shoulders, one image is burnt into my mind of a female jeb and is flying with bill and she starts laughing at bills scaredness

I did not draw those female Kerbals, Hayoo drew them. I take absolutely no credit for that piece of artwork.

We need a 2001 suit!!!!!!!!

[Whirligig Girl]

What difference would that make functionally?

Those aren't G-forces, the video implies that there is no windshield between the air and the Kerbal.

No, that's definitely G-forces in a centrifuge...
