Is it your intention to develop specialist and/or emergency equipment for EVA travel, like reserve gas tanks, specific armor, short-duration distance boost capsules, or the multi-tool?

You've already mentioned some of them, the refill canisters for fuel.

Yeah, so the pens you inject yourself with. So as I mentioned earlier, we do want to have that difference in what I'm wearing affecting what I can do. So you might have one EVA core armor piece that's quite slim and light, and then one that's a lot bulkier and has more fuel. We're going to have backpacks that can, again, have more fuel. Bigger is better, and you can get different items and equipment. Again, not for 3.23; all armor can EVA in 3.23. So there's the sense that you can have different backpacks, different core armor that behave differently and have maybe different thrust, not sure yet. Certainly different fuel. Oh, and it's also probably worth mentioning that, again not in 3.23, but when your fuel runs out, your breathable air gets used instead. So if you're in the middle of nowhere, you can opt to just start thrusting with your breathable air. And there's a double reason behind that. One is it's there, so why can't I use it? So yeah, great, use it, thrust. So you just get that little bit further. So if your airlock's just within reach, you can get to it. And the other is if you want to try and get somewhere and you can't reach it, you're going to die a lot faster, instead of just staying in the middle of nowhere waiting for half an hour to die.
