Jump To Lightspeed Archive

Well I read the atmospheric flight topic and some people pretty much pointed out the Ground gameengine an Jump to Lightspeed engine are the same thing. This made me realize that alot of stuff is actually possible such as docking an walking around Space Stations. But another idea that hit me was Space Walking. In other words adding player craftable Space Suits to the game. Players could go outside thier ship with them to do various tasks.

Some of the things could be repairing damaged Starshipcomponents. Or surveying Asteroids when and if they add Mining. Also you could use the Suits to transfer people from one Multiplayer ship to another. But overall if nothing else I think the ability to drift around in Space would just be pretty fun by itself. They could even use the animations developed for Space Walking for Underwater content if they decide to add that later on too. Not to mention a Space Dungeon type place with some sections where Space Walking was required would rock. Like Peragus Station in KOTOR II.

Hmmmm... This would indeed be a neat little feature to add. I can imagine the looks on the walkers faces when they see a TIE coming straight at them.

I am the PI3 MINISTER! Oh, and Forcession

they would probably use the ZeroG suits from X-Wing Alliance for space walking.
