'Magnetic' shoes for kerbals?

[Monkeh]

I've had a good search, (well both forum and google at least, plus the do not suggest list), and I can't see mention of this anywhere but I would really like to be able to toggle some 'magnetic' boots on my kerbal when on EVA.

Naturally, in my head, this sounds like a really easy thing to do, docking ports do something similar after all so it must be easy right? (If this line of 'writing' hasn't already demonstrated how little I know of such things then please allow me to clarify the position of my knowledge level of such things. It is very low.)

I've just built myself a nice little station and it would be cool to be able to walk around on the panels and such.

Anyone share my rather vacuous desire?

There are hundreds of people who share your thoughts and have already suggested it.

Magnets might be dangerous to electronics, so it would be a better idea to use velcro and define what parts of the craft are covered in velcro while building it, kind of like a spray.

Certainly would look alot better than covering the entire thing in ladders.

Nice station btw. Pritty colors

Yeah, I should have used 'sticky' but I thought inverted commas would work just as well

I hope the devs have listened, unless it's a bitch to implement in which case it's not that big a deal but...it would make the actual mission bit of missions a whole load more fun in a whole load more places.

I enjoyed plastering ladders on it but yeah, it just makes sense.

Thanks, I was trying for a golden look. Not exactly a hundred percent successful but not too far off either.

It could serve as a way to implement gear into ksp, all kerbals can use ladders. If they equip boots they can walk anywere. The eva pack we all know and love. A letpack is more like a lander than an eva pack, it only provides gimballing downward thrust. Rocket boots give you an extreme boost with extremely limited fuel so you can get up to your ladder or (if you are skilled) save jeb from becomming a blob on the surface of kerbin.

Just some ideas...

TL;DR krebal equipment pl0x.

Lol, EVA suicide burn

I suggest not attempting to walk on the panels; they break very easily.

you're really bad at searching cause I made a thread with the same request
