Odyssey ganking and rebuy screen?

Assuming combat will look more like pew pew and less like Arma & possible PvP matches will be instance limited, it would seem more likely that respawning is done relatively close rather than the nearest Mortuary Ship or the combat will be pretty short business.

As for the respawning lore itself, hasn't it always been kinda handwaved with rebuy & respawn back to docks?
 
Everything could already BE telepresence.
I'm watching for glitches in the Matrix.

(as much as the telepresence "Get out of jail free" card would paper over the physical player disassembly, I doubt they could get away with it for this...)
I see so many glitched in the Matrix of E: D every day... 😅
 
Open play scenario:
You're in a bar (of course), armed only with your exploration gadgets, in thin suit. A rowdy Cmdr comes in and blasts your head off with his engineered plasma gun.
Where do you respawn after rebuy?

Solo play scenario:
You're in a bar (of course). Alone.

PS
Joking aside, any info or ideas how this will be ingame?
I think the social hub areas would remove weapons from players... meaning if you’re ship is docked, you can’t bring weapons off your ship.
If your ship is “landed” and not docked, you can.
 
But that would open up a Dangerous precedence.
There are voices wondering why there are no safe hubs in ED currently, but maybe that will change too...
If it means that some players won’t be able to be antisocial in the social areas, I suppose they’ll just have to content themselves with doing it in the rest of the Milky Way.

I don’t foresee this as losing the ability to have Han Solo / Greedo cantina interactions, more like losing some rando running around shooting everyone they can in the back of the head because lols.

You cant allow one and disallow the other.
So you'd rely on C&P for that - commit an unsanctioned murder in a social hub, some nasty punishment happens that will discourage the perpetrator to ever do it again
We don't know that, but we do know how C&P currently works in ED.
 
Yeah but surely it won't count as murder? Bounty and all that?

I mean I've just turned off the lights in the room. It's pretty much the same thing. :)
Certainly a philosophical question if a hologram murdering a hologram is really murder.
Same with 'murdering' a 3D shielded Asp CMDR to their infailible escape pod.
I'd say no, but then the explorers in their 3D Asps will complain about all the lost time when blown up. Again. 🤭

I don't know, but it'll be an outrage if you don't leave behind a pair of smoking boots.
 
Wait, what?
You’re a hologram?
Wait... :unsure:
So why is there "O2" if no one is breathing in the suit?

Elite does not features social hubs
Obviously doh, but it will in odyssey as stated by CMs

You can be shot dead the moment your ship disengage from pad's clamps
And are invincible while on the pad, go figure. Because as soon as you undock, you're in flight.

My guess is you'll have to leave the weapons at the door before entering a social hub/area (I'm really not in the mood to argue semantics right now) or something to that extent.
