Oxygen Line for control seat

When sitting in the control seat it would be useful to assume an oxygen feed from the seat to the suit. This may require a 0.5m conveyor port somewhere on the control seat.

Without a constant supply of oxygen when piloting, the control seat is a secondary choice.

As breeches in air tightness are common occurrences in SE1, having a O2 supply line from the control seat would be a safety measure afforded to the crew in SE2.

You could even have a message when air tightness is lost : 'switching O2 to alternative supply'

I like the idea, having connected inventory would be handy (in addition to oxygen), but I've seen other comments about providing separate types of (tiny) conveyors for oxygen/hydrogen only.

Also for components access

Definitely would like this. I feel a .5m conveyor port is fine. Would like to suggest; I noticed with some seats (probably because they're being treated like a cockpit block) in SE1 that include oxygen supplies that this prevents players sitting in them from receiving oxygen/heat from the pressurized room they're in, which isn't ideal. The player should receive oxygen/heat from either/both the pressurized room they're in, and/or internal oxygen lines.

Yeah, agree having a cargo access point to the seat is a good idea. Just pointing out if they didn't want full cargo access, that other suggestions included even smaller gas-only connectors (hoses) to link remote air-sealed parts of s ship without full conveyor support.

i mean... i would be handy to be able to reference all your inventory from your control seat (which we can do by clicking the icon to show non connected inventories) and move stuff around from our control seat (which we cannot currently do). BUT air.... eventually we will have vents and all the stuff to have our ships enviromentally protected. soooooo kinda a moot point to provide an air line to it now when its not gonna be relavent later.

1. So do you think it is too technical to have an airline connection from the control seat to a space suit?

2. When flying on a passenger aircraft and the cabin looses pressurization are you OK with there being no emergency oxygen masks?

3. Will having an oxygen supply to your space suit from the control seat detract from your gameplay?

4. What comments do you have for players that would like an open cockpit design and do not want to worry about topping up their oxygen supply?
