When designing space MOCs, do any of you put your minifigs in "regular" clothing (ie, uniforms or off-duty garb vs pressurised spacesuits) for when they're inside "sealed" spaces with atmospheres?  I ask because I used to do so in Lego Digital Designer, back when I first figured out how to create upload my own textures (admittedly if it were real Lego I might not bother! )

Well, there's this black&red torso coverall outfit with a Classic Space logo on it. I liked to use that one for indoor activities of the classic astronauts.

Other then that, City space themes  , especially the 2022 version, did differ between pilot suits (yellow), normal uniforms (blue), and space suits (white with azure) depending if they were in a living space, ship, or spacewalk, but I haven't seen regular clothed figures in a space set, the most regular figures would be the scientist or base workers back on earth.

Yep, this is what I primarily meant by "regular clothed"; ie, not a pressurised spacesuit, but a regular uniform of some kind. :) 

When doing any neo-classic or Futuron MOCs for example I used to have uniform colors that would essentially just be a darker version of the spacesuit colors, while for M-Tron and Unitron I had darker red & blue coveralls respectively, with drab (sand blue & green, tan, grey, etc) undershirts to mimic the classic space departmental colors.

For Space Police meanwhile I put them largely into (as I recall; it was a while back) a variety of dark blue and black uniforms, while Blacktron received essentially the pinnacle of "neo-grunge pirates in space" fashion :D

I know the one you mean! :)

Sorry for bumping this thread, but I've been on a Star Trek binge recently, and it reminded me of this thread.

I actually think that the original colors could work as they do in Star Trek, but as there are so many colors, more ship functions can be assigned.

Yellow - Command. Not necessarily command of the crew, but also command functions, such as piloting and navigation.

Blue - Science. Collecting rock samples, radiation readings, etc.

Red - Operations. Computer Ops in particular.

White - Medical.

Black - Tactical. Ship security.

Orange - Recon. In charge of initial landings as well as first contact.

Green - Engineering. Internal Systems.

Grey - Engineering. External Systems.

Pink - Home-Economics. This is crew care and maintenance duties.

Purple - Communications. Occasionally accompanies Orange in First Contact. Handles both homebound and intraship communiques, as well as translation and xeno-linguistics.

Brown - Nursery. For any newborn crewmates, or the occasional alien animal.

Some of these are typically reserved for larger vessels/colony ships (like Brown), but I think each of these represent a critical ship function.
