Idea Passenger Individuality

[ryan]

When i was selecting passengers for a random DGIV flight, i started wondering.
So if you select a 21 year old pilot, he would be able to take more Gs than a 55 year old astrophysicist. So is there individuality in the passengers in what amount of Gs they can take and how fast they can go on the ground in the MMU (they more of slide in the MMUs).
I know the BPM on the heart rates are different when your looking at them, for example the pilot is 70 BPM and the astrophysicist is 85 BPM.
Also is there a stress level on the pilot, like if i'm flying straight down, i've never done that in the DG but if i would, the commander would have a front view and he knows that he's going straight down so his heart beat rises a little, the reason for this idea because i was thinking about Neil Armstrong's heart beat during landing (which had a average of 140 BPM).
Thanks.
Ryan.

This is certainly an interesting and fun idea.

VitalSignsMFD anybody?

However, whilst it would be an interesting thing to be able to peruse on long (or dangerous) flights, I'm not sure what purpose it could serve. Vessel damage and whatnot has a purpose, it has an effect on flight and success. But it would take some inginuity to link the passengers abilites and current health state into anything that would effect your missions in orbiter in any meaninglful way.

So, without some clever spark making that link I say yes to the fun cosmetics of it, but no to it actually being worth coding.

it would be cool for missions and give the DGIV "reclaimation" payload some use. also if someone died it could increase the chances of something bad happening to the ship. engineer dies and the radiator is less effective or maybe the electrical or hydrolic systems lock up or have lag. a little imagination and the possibilities are endless
