There's an engine break button to press, to make either ship or space suit to hit full stop on all vector, so when you're in space suit, you no longer spin or slowly drift to a direction that still has vector, I tried this mod, and simply can't break at all. [Edit] Nvm, seems like its just too fast to cancel the vector, I'll try fiddle with the variables :D
Love the idea of the space suit moving at a decent speed (finally!) I was wondering if there was a way you could improve the suit controls to make them mimic a ship? (I.e flight assist) It would make it much easier to operate, especially at the new speeds this makes it capable of.
To use the suit like a tiny fighter, try these settings:

This gives a fair amount of control without too much twitchiness, decent boost to 333 m/s and it stops fairly quickly. Not bad overall, but could use a bit more tuning for personal tastes. I'd also recommend changing weapon values a bit if you plan on doing any dogfighting. Altering engine values is an easier way to change how the suit handles than messing with suit values... more or less.
