The more there are the worse the game gets. Eventually it may get so bad that I can't play anymore. I don't want to be continuously laughing at how dumb it is while trying to play.I dunno. If there are Legs, there will be some form of death mechanic. 'Physical holograms' would buffet my poor immersion gland way less than some other formats.
Ultimately though, we all get along with a totally absurd 'rebirth' mechanic for ships. I'm sure we'll all survive the Legs variant

I would prefer just no explanation at all rather than telepresence. I can suspend disbelief for the sake of playing a game, but I can't suspend the knowledge if it's the game lore itself that doesn't make any sense whatsoever.I dunno.

Clones could be a good answer though. Your consciousness is always backed up on some hard drive in a cloning facility, and when you die they upload it in a fresh new body. Of course there are fees involved, just like paying insurance for your ship.
But my guess is that they'll let us speculate and come up with answers for ourselves to explain why we always just "wake up" at the nearest station every time we die.
It's a bit gamey don't ya think, no one will find that beleivable
But if you could print a new set of legs ...Hmmmmm ... Now that would work

[...]your ship being lost because you're dead seems a bit daft[...]
...without pointing out that there is already a situation where you lose a ship when your avatar dies: life support failure. So there is a sort of precedent for this. But in a game as internally inconsistent as ED, I don't think it should bind FD's design choices for similar situations.Likewise, killing your ship because your avatar is destroyed would also be stupid.
This could work.It would just be a simple Respawn, probably at your ship.
It would be sweet in my opinion if E: D had lore around cloned bodies and electronic conciousness transferal, but it doesn't so far as I'm aware.
Low gravity + Anything = AccidentsPossibly, but it's unlikely you will die there. Depends if it is set price or done per LY like ship transfer.
The reason why you don't die with the SRV is that you are not dead or even injured. You are ejected in your capsule which your ship then picks up, you then spawn in your ship. When you are actually incapacitated when not in you SRV or ship, your ship probably can't pick you up as you are not in your escape capsule.
But they may do it that you are suddenly healed of all your wounds and appear in your ship, but I certainly hope not. That would be a bit crap.
Mine would probably be the re-awakening scene experienced in the first "Robocop" movie.What would your solution be for a Legs death mechanic?
Waiting mechanics are bad. They do not make any sense from a game design perspective.Class E Cloning Tube: 5 minutes
Class D Cloning Tube: 3 Minutes
Class C Cloning Tube: 1 Minute
Class B Cloning Tube: 30 seconds
Class A Cloning Tube: Immediate
Maybe legs will be full ironman.
Alternatively, they'll be indestructible like Fleet Carriers.
