Cockpit Cats - It's a Thing

Think of this animation... Cockpit Cat plays around with the bobblehead on your dash (while it sits on your radar while you're in combat).
Cockpit cat knocks bobblehead off its magnet, causing it to soar gracefully onto the left arm of the seat, jamming the throttle control - cat leaps to chase, you bank while cat is in air and cat embeds all claws in right wrist while furiously waving tail in your face...

Sounds about right... while you're trying to land on a high-G planet... and you get a rebuy.

And it ONLY happens when you're trying to land on a high-G planet.
 
What if you're a dog person?

A Hamster on a running wheel that sits on my Dashboard would be nice. If it kept in time with the Hamster that powers ED's servers that would be cool. If it jumps off to sup water from its drinking flask, i know that the servers are about to go down.
What's with the prejudice?

What's wrong with puppymonkeybabby?

Unless they're felines, it's 100% discriminatory. :giggle:
 
So, I was chatting with a buddy who is close to the FDev team and it appears Cockpit Cats are going to be a thing in an upcoming release.

We're not sure if it will be released as part of New Era(TM), or if it will be part of an update following Fleet Carriers. We do know for sure it will NOT be released prior to the FC release later this quarter.

The actual feature set/behavior is unknown, however they are "made for VR" and do come in and out of the cockpit area through the entry door which can be seen in VR (or camera angles). This indicates it might be a 'teaser' for Space Legs in New Era(TM).
Hm. Is it already the 1st of April where you are?
 
Not only do you have WAY too much time on your hands, but this is exactly why the Cats movie bombed. Just too floopin' creepy. LOL

The devil makes work for those self employed. If only FD updated Powerplay I'd not be tempted by the dark side.

I also think I've invented a whole new sub-genre of Aisling 'appreciation'. Taylor Swift + furry + Aisling? Thats got to be a record.

Sometime later at FDev's audio recording room:

Project Manager: Right, were almost done recording audio for Cockpit Cats. So, imagine the scene! Your Commander's FDL is in battle and its on fire! Hull failing! Weapons broken! FSD destroyed! Module Reinforcement melted! How would you react?

Cat (next to microphone) : ...........Meow?

Project Manager: Brilliant! And we're done! Coming to the pub?

Cat: Meow?

Project Manager: They serve fish pie there!

Cat: Meow!!!
