Will we be able to eject in a space suit or is escape pod the only alternative to oblivion?

Aleksej · Apr 29, 2014

Sure we will have such ability. As well as ironman mode will be available in the final release.

This is the only concept art we have seen for escape pods. The pilot seat basically is the escape pod.

There will probably be no freeform movement as a character in the first release. However it is planned for in future expansions.

Quite how the "walk around" bit will work is unclear in ED thus far. It's possible once that has been added that you could poddle off for a spacewalk, repair, paint touch up etc. There is a massive door at the back of both the sidewinder and cobra don't forget.

Of course, the ejection in the space suit is planned

Star Citizen Dog Fighting Module.

How does a suit or capsule get you back to the last station you were at if that was half a galaxy away?

Does it sample your DNA and send a message?

Some kind of

suit gene loader?

Rescue beacon and a taxi back to civilisation?

Or perhaps a very long wait...

So does the suit just delay ejection? would be a good way to handle it if it were premature...

Haha, +1 Internet to you sir for a top Ready-Brek reference!

I don't think there are any hard and fast rules about that.

I don't think you can eject with the space suit in the first release, only with the escape pod. The image looks intriguing, but is likely related to picking up people after a big ship exploded.

It is a passage in the newsletter n ° 14 : Although we are focussed on the alpha testing and then beta through to the retail release of the game, we are also making good progress with planning for the subsequent expansions that will enable you to leave the cockpit.
