Can weapon recoil affect you in EVA? Can we pull out our FS-9 and, instead of tapping our air supply, just shoot ourselves closer to where we're going?asked by Adusine, Smitty Brew Works

Yeah, I can answer this. Right now, in lore, we have the idea that the thruster pack compensates for weapon recoil. So yeah, you keep steady. It's not working for the case where you don't have a thruster pack. So the short answer is no, we don't have it yet. But we have this idea and it'd be nice to implement maybe someday.

So you want it? You want weapon recoil affecting you?
Gennady StrievichSenior Gameplay Programmer
Yeah, probably. So you can use your weapon to just fly, or push things.

But again, not for 3.23. It's worth mentioning as well that for the next few releases in terms of EVA, we're not considering that for what we're working on immediately. So if we do do something like that, it'll be further off for sure.
