Resist Frost 100% and Magicka Respiration, right? (Magical respiration is a well-documented effect in lore, though never seen in games, as waterbreathing covers any situation it might serve.)

You'd need a lot more than that to survive space.

100% radiation resistance

100% pressure containment within the body

100% immunity to micro asteroids and other space debris traveling at sublight speeds

100% heat resistance

How about 100 percent shield + 100 percent magicka resist + Magical breathing? The shield pretty much covers everything, the magicka resist is just for insurance.

I don't know too much about TES space, but I think it has significantly less matter floating about in it than our space does. Who the hell knows what, if anything, the Aedric planets hanging alongside Nirn are made of. There must be some stuff, as Baor Dau shows, but I don't even know if stuff orbits. Don't the other planets stay still relative to Nirn?

I didn't realize magicka = radiation.

Assuming TES space still is an actual vacuum, that must be some super awesome shield you have there. Like some playground "YOU CAN'T TOUCH ME MY POWER IS I CAN DO EVERYTHING" shield.

Does TES space even have radiation? The sun and stars are just big portals to a different plane or something right?

I assume the sun at least radiates heat. If not how is anything even alive?

Finally managed to be able to play Skyrim in relatively stable conditions.
Of course, there will still be the occasional crashing or lag spikes, but at least I will be able to play the game with several mods now.

Magic.

Literally, since that's what the sun radiates.

Anyway, space travel is mostly magic-based in ES. See: battlespires, mananauts (PGE3).

My personal favorite is Sheogorath orders a Pizza, though I also really like the end of the one I posted.

Shield is for micrometeorites and other projectiles.

TES space is pretty weird. It's a big spherical (I think) black bubble of finite proportions, in which 9 planets just sit. I don't know if any of them move. Masser and Secunda presumably orbit or move around Nirn, and Nirn presumably rotates, but I don't know about anything else. The edge of this black bubble (oblivion), is perforated with millions of holes that let in light from some other plane (Aetherius, I think, but sources differ). The biggest of these holes is called Mundus, or the sun. There might be other random bits of matter strewn about this bubble, like Baor Dau (Vivec's rock of doom), but I'm not sure if there's enough for micrometeorites to be prevalent, or if their motion is even determined by gravity as we understand it. Occasionally there are fallen stars, but they're made of some kind of glass that's actually crystallized magicka, presumably originating from the stars.

Space is Oblivion. Space is infinite and the Aedra, Masser, Secunda and Mannimarco have their own orbits.

The orbits are impossible.

That one is missing Mannimarco AKA the Necromancer's Moon orbiting Arkay. When Mannimarco eclipses Arkay, it is an even known as the Shade of the Revenant and a shrine being used during that time is how Black Soul Gems are made.

Masser and Secunda both orbit, I think.

Nirn rotates and so do the plane(t)s, but I'm not sure about Masser and Secunda.

Aetherius can bee seen through the holes in Oblivion. The largest hole is Magnus, the sun. Mundus is Nirn plus the plane(t)s, that is Masser, Secunda, the Aedra and Mannimarco.

Right. 2 Capital M words of roughly the same length, I got confused.

It's still pretty unclear what the Aedric planets actually are. Some say they're physical things made of physical stuff, others say that they're just divine images. They could be places one could actually go, like Mars, or they could just be incomprehensible divine things in space.

Mannimarco was created at the end of Daggerfall, iirc. It's interesting to note he got his own celestial sphere but Talos didn't.
