Death sequence

I know it's definitely not a priority, but since I assume that I will see the death sequence quite often until the final game, I believe there's need for improvement here. Death in ED could be more enjoyable.

So maybe this thread could offer proposals for animations or things to happen when your ship has exploded.

Here's what I would love to see :
The camera would slowly move away from the debris, then the speed would increase, and it would take you far "above" the system, giving you a sense of where in the system you have died (if you didn't know), and it will continue, you will get to the level of the galactic map, unzooming until the galaxy becomes tiny, and you see other ones, and fade to black.

You could interrupt the animation whenever you want.

I'm dreaming, I know, as it's probably difficult to have this seamless transition from one scale to another I guess. But it could be awesome (at least, it is awesome in my mind).

This could be one of several death animations; it wouldn't need to be the same everytime.

What do you think ?
 
If you're in Iron Man mode, and you die, I'd like to see your point of view zoom out from your exploded ship, turn, and fly through a tunnel of light... with indistinct but kindly family members reaching out their loving arms to you.


Unless your Iron Man game involved attacking poor newbie CLEAN players for fun, and stealing their cargo. Then, you get dragged off by howling shadow monsters, animated really badly... oh, wait, that was "Ghost".


Ignore me. :)

But can we get Demi Moore in this game? There must be a way.
 
On a similar note to the above Ironman to Normal I would love to see some kind of transition ... You explode and the camera shoots away quickly .. flash of light .. zooms back and your ship is complete again, same region of space, but now you're in normal.

Something like that.
 
I'd like to see a POW from the pilot drifting away from the ship, with a cracked visir and the character taking some last shallow breaths in an otherwise dead silent setting, much like the sound of how one dies of asphyxiation in Dead Space.

Ah ah ah it took me a while to understand what you were talking about !
I had kept no memory of that moment
