Star Citizen Live Q&A: EVA & Personal Interactions
TL;DW:
player will keep limited speed when jumping out of flying ship to EVA
we'll be able to partially disable the interaction prompt in 3.23, full disable planned for the future
EVA refuel automatic in atmosphere, med-pen like injections (not in 3.23 since no fuel consumption for that release)
weight will affect fuel consumption in EVA eventually, not in first implementation
"loot all" still available
can hold items while EVA
ability to "stand" in EVA won't be in 3.23, might come in the future
no mag boots for now
inner thoughts system stays for dialogs, cockpit interactions slightly updated
if you attach yourself to a ship with push-pull mechanic ship should be able to throw you off with enough force applied (possibly, still work in progress since it won't be in 3.23)
transitions from EVA to standing position should be pretty smooth and seamless
no melee takedowns in EVA for 3.23, just simple jabs and knife slashes
no customizable colors for the new interaction system but they are aware of need for accessibility options
different suits, armor, backpacks will have different EVA capabilities (not in 3.23)
you'll be able to use oxygen to EVA when out of fuel
weapons planned to affect EVA in the future
using MFDs should be a bit more precise, new focus mode planned for the future
attaching to surfaces while in EVA requires a button press, going too fast might play "recovery animation" preventing immediate movement
going too fast from EVA to gravity might end up with hitting the deck and dying
can still zoom in (hold F + scroll) during EVA
EVA really helped with prone movement
no changes to jumping out of ships in atmo
will be able to EVA inside ships (when gravity's disabled), also planned "hand-hold points" to jump between (not in 3.23)
SATA Ball was planned as a test bed for EVA implementation due to lack of PU, now it's just a lore curiosity (might happen one day but no plans for now)
parachutes are still planned not being worked on at the moment
Might have missed or mishear some stuff and skipped talk about most frustrating EVA bugs since I was noting things down while doing other stuff, should be most of it though.
