Spacesuit Oxygen and time was bugging me... so...

Post by Socratatus » Fri, 14. Dec 18, 09:54

I tested it.
I hated worrying how much air I had left with no gauge or anything to indicate so i decided to test it. I thought it was 10 minutes.

To my surprise it`s 30 minutes. Which is a good time.

There is no indication that something is wrong until the 25 minute mark when you start sounding like you`re getting out of breath.
So guys, if you want to go on a spacewalk you`re pretty safe, but take a Timer Watch with you and don`t try going from one far place to another far place- you`ll still die.

There should really be warnings though. Who makes a space suit with no warning for low air? What society would purchase such a product? It makes no sense... unless the Devs simply didn`t have time to incorporate it yet.

I`d say have an alert at 15 minutes, then one at 20 minutes and finally one at the 5 minute point at the least. There should also be a gauge of some kind.

At least we have plenty of time.

It's a galaxy-wide contract from a Teladi producer. Don't ask how it came to that...

Oh wow thanks for this. I was about to sit on an asteroid enjoying the view in the middle of nowhere while my ship went off to do some boring work.... guess I won't be doing that then :D

Reminds me of that Heineken commercial picture where the astronaut is holding his beer while relaxing on the moon with Earth setting in the horizon.

Wait, what?

Space Suit has a limited air supply?

And it's only 30 minutes?

That's news.

Huh, I assumed it was unlimited, didn't realize it was limited.
