Idea a ummu suggestion that could be essential

[Traunmark5]

I think it could be awesome if UMMU could utilize the same kind of grapling that URMS uses. UMMU then could then be used to grab on to anything within range including other ummu. could be realy helpfull in rescue missions. ummu could also grapple to space stations or inside of space stations expanding the possibility of fully functional interior and navagatable space stations. this one change could open a world of possibalities.

There is a way to grab onto things, but not like the URMS. If I remember correctly, you can grab onto other UMMUs, certain vessels and crates. It's been a while since I've played orbiter(busy!) but I believe its "g". Check the UMMU manual in the orbiter directory for other hotkeys.

 

[Traunmark5]

im sorry. i mean in addition to the standard g and b keys. to make interaction more versitile

A universal grappling system for UMMUs would be very usefull. It could even be used to move around a hull.

 

[wehaveaproblem]

It would be nice if UMMUs themselves could attach their feet to the end of an arm, and use their arms as the crane grapple. No idea on feasibility of this though.

A level of health is added to the background, so that when a UMMU gets injured, he can wait a certain amount of time to heal.

And if he was dying, it could happen slowly, rather than a quick thump on the ground.

It would increase realism, I don't mean this as a gross thing.

Somehow, I think taking your suit off in a vacuum would have rather instantaneous results.

Surprisingly, scientists believe you would be able to live for a few seconds.

Anyway, it would be nice in a situation I once had. I had a "brand new" UCGO ISS in orbit (it had no food/water or oxygen or crew), and I was flying up the first crew and some oxygen and food. I proceeded to send the entire crew to their instant death as I transferred them all into the ISS without first unloading the oxygen. :facepalm:

This is what it looks like.

The quick re-pressurization was painful on the ears, but no permanent damage was done.

& even, weirder they say that you shouldnt hold your breath :huh:

 

[statickid]

oh mg that is freaky. hmm hmm hmm la de da this new space suit is pretty groovy and comforta....... *PASS OUT*

 

[garyw]

T.Neo and I briefly played with a series on handrails for the ISS so that the UMMU could grappy on to them and move around. It didn't really work very well.

Correct. Exhale, or the air in your lungs could pop them kind of like a balloon.

 

[mojoey]

Which would cause overpressure in your bloodflow making the pressure in your cranial reigon to skyrocket (no pun...i swear!) and asplode....

just add a attachment point at the feet and have the arm grab them.

 

[Cras]

the ability to grab an UMMU with a robotic arm would be very very useful indeed.

 

[icedown]

You can capture a UMMU with the URMS. If the other arms work off of attachment points, it shouldn't be hard to add one to a UMMU config.

 

[gattispilot]

I added these lines to the Ummu .cfg and get these results.

BEGIN_ATTACHMENT
P 0.0 -1.05 0.0 0 -1 0 0 0 1 rms
END_ATTACHMENT

One is the Atlantis RMS and the other is my MMSEV2

what about getting old?

what i am trying to say is if you do an interplanetary travel of 2 years the ummu's age will be +2

And if they are about 70 o 80 they die.

Whatever... just an idea

Well, you know, like there isnt enough ways that we kill them already :lol:
