Equipment System

At the moment the space suit, antenna, jetpack, backpack and magnetic boots are all part of the player. But what if........... they weren't.

Imagine spawning with a weak hydrogen jetpack with a max speed of maybe 10m/s and the same backpack as now (plus space suit if spawning in space), and being able to make better and better parts like ion jetpacks, atmo jetpacks (each with the same speed as the starter pack), a better hydroogenjetpack with a higher maxspeed, a military grade hydrogen jetpack that can go the same speed as small ships, at the sacrifice of 90% less backpack capacity. I think it would be amazing if you were able to choose your equipment depending on what you want to do, so when you want to build some stuff, you'd take a large backpack (which would probably make you slower) and a fuelefficent but slow jetpack.

Maybe wearing a spacesuit could decrease your walking speed in gravity or oxygenrich places, so there is a reason to put it away when in a pressurized area. With this the player could also act more like a grid himself, being able to control different parts via the controlpanel, and maybe even putting those actions on their hotbar.

I love this idea, especially the one with movement speed difference with/without spacesuite which will not be necessary in pressurized areas. That would make creation of pressurized rooms even more beneficial and motivate player to invest in smarter ship/station design. Nice!
