    Goodbye one last time

    CMDRs please help me. My dad died on the 30th of last month in a tragic truck accident. He made the tough choice of killing vehicle that blew a tire and killing the driver or swerving and safing her but at the cost of himself. He was my hero. We played elite dangerous often together on pc and...

    On-foot goods not displayed as lost when killed while on-foot

    When you die, the redeployment screen will show what cargo you lost in the event of your ship getting wrecked. Now, when I'm raiding a settlement on-foot and have gathered stuff, I would like for the redeployment screen to show that I lost those things from my backpack, as opposed me getting...

    Spontaneous death by touching a teammate's ship.

    This is a bit of a PSA I guess. "Stay away from other people's ships, even if they are friendly." I was on a planet with a wingmate, I mean teammate. And I was on foot standing of the nose of his Anaconda, pointing my gun at his cockpit joking that I was within minimum range of his hardpoints...

    Death VIA Old Age

    I think that the arbitrary time limit of Old Age is kinda weird, as real death by old age is, in reality, your body becoming weaker, and the immune system becoming much weaker too. So I think of instead of "[DINOSAUR] died of Old Age", maybe once a dinosaur passes the age limit in their bio...

    More realist data storage for biological sample and data

    The whole "if your srv is destroyed you lose ALL biological data and sample" thing is absolutely stupid. Why would they store everything in the SRV rather than store only things that you've picked up since you left your ship. Once you get back to your ship the data and sample should be...

    Improve exploration player retention by leaving behind black box upon death.

    I've known a couple players, and seen the threads for countless others, who have given up on Elite after dying during a long exploration session. My idea is that after collecting more than 500k in exploration data, any ship death will leave behind a signal source with all that data in the form...

    Escape Pod Ejection

    Greetings Commanders! Currently, if your ship is destroyed, you get ejected in an escape pod into outer space - but instantly get respawned at a station or detention centre. I think that it would be more realistic and immersive if you got ejected and had to stay in your pod until someone...

    Death penalty thoughts

    I was wondering that, giving that money is not a problem past some point of playing, the fact of dying having enough money for rebuy makes the game less changelling, and in case of the "bad guys" not suffering a noticeable penalty for his/her evil deeds, also in name of common sense I want you...

    Ships Frontier, fix planetary autopilot!

    To be honest, I usually solve the issues by just killing the game process, but recently this problem has really triggered me and I cannot just keep calm anymore. Frontier, ship autopilot (AP further) when you are in SRV or fighter is a real piece of hell! It fails on every planet that is not a...

    Death IRL, or, does dead commanders get flown into a star?

    Hi. Quite new(ish) to the game, but really love the whole package. There was a good eyeopener in the news in Norway lately, about this disabled guy who did all the things he could not do IRL in game (WoW). Then he died! His family knew he was a gamer, but had no idea about how many friends he...

    Stop Killing SLF pilots on Ship Destruction

    I've seen this posted plenty of times now and ignored since SLFs were added, but now after losing an elite SLF pilot when I was killed by a team of 6 players at once who all had ships covered in double shot frags (basically unavoidable death, especially in an asteroid belt where you're mass...

    Grave markers - Micro-transaction (related to a copilot cat lost)

    Been awhile since I posted here as nearly all the stuff I have requested have been added (except space legs) This one is because a use in Facebook Elite Dangerous Mobius forum noted his beloved Copilot 'Muffin' passed away and the user was understandably shattered... this was his post: "It's...

    Why is the Explorer path so unbalanced?

    So, I have a question, why is the explorer career so unbalanced? This applies to all modes, but this is mostly about Open. The context here is when your ship is destroyed as opposed to your time investment. Let me explain.... (hint, there is a TL;DR to this.) The Combat Role: If you are...

    Newcomer / Intro Combat Insta-Death

    So I was working on the community goal today, and after 3 hours of mining, I finally had enough Osmium and Samarium to have a full hold. I was on approach to the station when I started to get Interdicted. I thought nothing of it, and after noticing that it wasn't an NPC interdiction, I became...

    Rework Player Death & Rebuy (PvP & NPC Ship Combat Only)

    I thought I'd throw my hat in the ring for suggestions to make Elite a better experience for players in both Open and Solo play environments by adding an element of player agency to the death mechanic that can at times be, in my experience, extremely unforgiving and cavalier with a players time...
