upgrading jumpsuit!

[Poacher886]

So a funny story has me asking some questions about the Jumpsuit and its capabilities.

I started this game yesterday with the discover start, really just to sort out the controls, but when i realised i was a women, i decided to re-start as the 'young gun', having not had done anything previous anyway.

This was my first foray into a space station....i looked at my Elite Vanguard, then got distracted by another ship that landed, i walked over to it and was instantly led up the stairs and into the ship....which promptly took off with me in it Lol.....not knowing what to do i sat for the ride hoping it would land, but she kept flying off to another sector, so i decided to bail!!

So here's the thing, firstly F4 external view does'nt work in space suit mode, the suit should have flown away from the camera like it does when your in a ship, but it stays fixed to your suit. anyway, i tried to fly back to my original ship in the hangar, except:

1. The max speed is 7ms! is there any way to increase this?
2. You have limited 02, which ran out long before i could reach anywhere...i like the idea of 02 but could we have it vastly increased or is there a way to upgrade it for space suit travel in future?

Visit Trader's Corner on a station. They sell upgrades. Not for O2 though.

F2 is external view I’m sure you know with a double press of F2 allowing you to freely move the camera around yourself.

Yes but F4 is the fly by view, that works differently to in x3 unfortunately, but allows you to fly your ship away or torwards the camera allowing for neat fly by's etc

Thanks for this, seems silly to limit your 02 time in the space suit so much, when you bail, you could be in the black for hours before reaching somewhere of use!

There's at least one gameplay reason for that, that's all I'm going to say outside of the spoiler forum

Meh I rather have escape pods and no more save scumming. I know there is a mod too once your at that stage, but still I wish there was options to prevent the whole save scumming

Why would you want/need to bail? Why do you want to fly about for hours in your suit?
Shall we both agree you are being a bit daft? Pro Tip for you Champ… do the PHQ plot and fully research Teleportation then when you are doing whatever you feel you need to do and running low on O2 you can instantly teleport to the PHQ or one of your ships to replen.

New players and spoilers not always nice why the other guy was being settled.

BTW Champ not everyone enjoys save scumming as well. Maybe their roleplaying a bit.

That's not the reason I was referring to. Jumping out from a ship that's about to die isn't likely to save you from having to reload. What I'm referring to concerns limited O2. Please try to at least follow the conversation

So here's another 'pro tip' for you....Chump

The idea of teleportation has 'console arcade game' written all over it, a terrible game design in line with the awful highways. Its for those millennial's that 'play to win' and dont like to lose!, for those that like immersion and are true PC gamers (which the x series used to unashamedly be for), the idea i can simply 'jump' into another space craft every-time im in trouble loses all sight of realism and immersion and loss. Its a simple cheat so you dont have to accept defeat.

For those like me who prefer it as it was (and is in every other sim you care to mention), i prefer to bail, and enjoy the silent immersion of loss and desperation while making good my escape in my suit to another ship/platform or indeed dying trying.

Player..."Nah im to busy instantly jumping from ship to ship shooting things up"

Where did i mention save scumming? and your cheap shot about spoilers is misplaced!

Going EVA should be the exception not the rule! Even Elite Dangerous has a limit on O2.I personally don’t use teleportation to escape dangerous situations so no arcade gameplay from this fella.Restarting because a start made you a female tells me lot
