Shift to sprint while in gravity

[Nebulon-B_Frigate_FTW]

For the love of space, please give us this so there's some actual advantage to being in gravity and so going thru hallways doesn't feel like we're in one of those annoying tension-building scenes in a horror movie.

 

[WildRage64]

Yeah, we totally need that

Great reason to install gravity!

Good idea.

A good reason to stop smashing a ship core down my hallways. Yes. PLEASE.

Wait, other people DON'T build sideways gravity blocks at ends of long hallways for quick-travel?

Sometimes, but it gets awkward when the hallway is only 20 blocks long and there are doors at both ends, one of which leads directly to space. Ultimately, it's a bit of a hassle having to constantly swap gravity. Sprinting would be an approach that would require no special station setup and make smaller areas more bearable.

 

[OfficialCoding]

Yeah. This would be useful.

I do hope this is considered. It would be extremely easy to implement, and would positively impact gameplay in terms of navigating large ships and stations, reaching other players to interact, as well as boarding/counter-boarding actions.

Shift is already used to let you walk, which implies the character is usually running if shift is not pressed.
From keyboard.cfg:

WALK = RSHIFT //Walk

Now I wouldn't be totally averse to another speed setting, ie. sprinting, provided it is tied to some kind of exhaustion or fatigue, so characters can not sprint indefinitely.
I already find them running all the time borderline immersion breaking.

The idea is you don't want to sprint all the time because sometimes you need to move precisely around blocks. And it is absurd that the character's current speed is considered sprinting.
