But maybe extravehicular activity is not a major concern for your spacecraft.
(There's very little EVA in most sci-fi. The only sci-fi story with EVA that I
can recall at the moment is Asimov's "Foundation's Edge."

This is sort of off-topic, but I just remembered another one -- Clarke's "2001."
Remember?  "Open the pod bay doors, HAL!"  "I'm sorry, Dave, I can't do that."

There's also a certain amount of EVA in various Star Trek films (and TV
episodes).  Mostly scampering around the skin of the Enterprise, I believe.

I liked the space suits in the Star Trek animated series -- they consisted of
belts, which extended individual a custom-fit force field around the wearer, and
provided life support.
