On the EVA suits, are the seal rings standardized so the suit parts are interchangeable and people can swap out gloves and boots?
TL;DRInterchangeable suit parts like gloves, boots and helmets are the plan and the goal, with characters built from swappable items and ships made as modular as possible without looking like Frankenstein builds.
That's the plan. Like if I like the torso on this space suit, I like the gloves on this space suit, I like the helmet on this space suit.
I mean, that's the dream, though, right? Being able to customize whatever, as an MMO. Because the way we're doing our characters, I could be wrong, but from what Forrest and Omar were telling me, there will literally be stages on the characters. One will be the glove, and we call them items, right? So the whole concept of components: you can swap in, swap out. So yes, you can have an RSI helmet, and then you might have a light marine boot. That's the idea. That's what we're working for.
We're trying to do the same thing with ships, too. We're trying to make as much stuff modular as possible while still being able to keep things unique. Because in the end, you don't want a bunch of Frankenstein-looking things. But you do want customization. So we're figuring out a way to make sure that you get both.
