Do you want to implement an EVA push/pull movement system for situations when we'll be out of EVA fuel?asked by Gabriel Rej

TL;DRThe question is no longer valid because a base set of weak EVA thrusters will be built into the under-suit or flight suit so players can't get stranded, with jet packs or augments making it faster.

Actually I can't answer it directly as its not valid anymore. Myself and character art have discussed this quite a bit and have got this signed off by design too. We are put a base set of EVA within an under-suit or flight suit. So right now if you put this skin tight suit you don't have any thrusters, you have to put a jet pack on to have thrusters. So we want to make even the base has a really weak EVA but it has some.

So that you can't put yourself in the situation where you bail out of a ship and can't go anywhere, as it's just a game breaker. It is a super weak EVA you're not going to use it constantly and is you put a jet pack or augment EVA it'll be a lot faster. So it is up to the player how strong the EVA is. That is something we haven't spoken about before so that's something very unique and exclusive!
