Disable jetpack when inside a station
Not Enough Votes
The current stations are build for walking around, but I never do.
With multiplayer everyone inside of a station is going to look like little flies buzzing around.
If jetpacks were disabled when inside of a station the activity would match the setting.
I like this feedback
Just thought of an encounter setting after writing this post, failed station - damaged and no gravity generator.

Engineers seem to be technologically an age further ahead compared to normal people. Every single outpost is built as if inhabitants and visitors would be ground-bound. There are also old-school containers with things like fully assembled struts and thrusters lying around which implies that the inhabitants aren't able to just make stuff out of a few components or even ores from their backpack like us engineers.
I just started playing and don't know the lore. But it is obvious that the outposts and stations have been built by and for people on a way lower technical level than the engineers. The glaring exception are the contract and trade terminals as well as the protective bubbles around their locations. That stuff looks another order of magnitude more advanced than the engineer tech - but the terminals do fit the look of everything else and are looking like they have been made for (not by) the same people, the rest of the infrastructure has been made for.
From a gameplay perspective, using the jetpack just makes traveling less tedious.
From an immersion perspective, we, the engineers, seem to be pretty exceptional anyway. Flying around in a place where everyone else would walk is what we do when we visit anything not made by us. I didn't even see enemies use their jetpacks in my save yet.
