It seems to be space-walk week here on RPS. We started off swooping about in the Shattered Horizon free weekend, and now we’re performing difficult space-tasks on the international space station, thanks to NASA’s Station Spacewalk Game. If you ever wondered where all that spare money is going now that Obama cancelled the second trip to the moon, well, look no further!
the 3d models look good, but earth is a bit low-res… hope they include hi-rez versions of the planet- gonna give it a go later.

This gun doesn’t have enough guns.

This is quite nice actually, the ISS is well represented in its modelling and it’s a useful toy for anyone who wants to learn about the components of the thing and their orientation.
report
The ISS is a hoax!

Wasn’t there an actual SPACE WEEK on RPS a year ago or so?

WHERE ARE THE LASERS?!?!

“earth is a bit low-res”
I think that’s how advanced alien civilizations look at us, followed by “Crush the puny voxels down to a pulpy sprite!”
report
Spacewalking eh? Is there a jump button?
report
That’s pretty good though they could hire someone to polish it up a bit. Also I’m pretty sure oxygen isn’t used to power everything in a space suit…

Oblivion with solar panels.

Fallout with stars!

“Astronaut, the sparkles will help you.”

man I sucked at this, flew far into space and then the truss hit me… never gonna be an astronaut =) 5ld8
report
The trick is to be very patient, and use tiny amounts of thrust as far as i can remember.
Better to use 30 seconds to turn around, than to be possibly floating out in the middle of nowhere flying mach 7?
report
Go as fast as you want and magically stop with the z button. And the sparkles help too.
report
Damn, why would they take out the anal-retentive bits in a spaceflight sim?
report
Yeah, the magical stop button was a bizarre choice. I mean, that’s the really distinctive thing about EVAs, right? You can’t just stop on a dime. Well, that and you’re in space. So why include it?

Always wanted to go to Florida.
report
If only all things had a magical stop key.
