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 ?
