Will we optionally be able to stand upright in EVA as we do now?
TL;DRNo, in 3.23 EVA is prone only, to give a great experience and a seamless link to zero-G surface traversal, though standing may be revisited later.
So for 3.23, no. We're focusing solely on the prone stance, and that's the lying down stance. We just really want to give a great experience for that. So there's a lot of animation work that goes into that. The guys are doing a great job with it. But yeah, the focus is the prone stance and that's twofold. It's prone because when you attach, again, not EVA, it's the zero-G traversal thing where you attach to a surface, that's prone as well. So you get a seamless transition between the two. But also the silhouette that you maintain whilst you're moving through a ship. If you imagine flying like that through a corridor, it's a lot less awkward if you're doing that than that, because occasionally you bump into things. So for now, 3.23, no, but obviously we're aware you guys are interested in it, so we'll see what we get down the line.
It's all about building out that systemic experience at the moment, where all the features just work together, and the stand-up stance doesn't quite work with that at the moment, so it will need some more thinking for the future.
