In Elite II, apart from auto flying back to a port, we had this if the player fitted one to their ship.One big question - When I blow up in a ship, I get automatically packed in an escape pod, ejected, picked up and brought to a station to solve the rebuy.
What if I get shot to pieces though?
I think it's safe to say that going on past performance, Odyssey will probably take 3 to 6 months to 'Bed In' and resolve major issues and then they'll start looking at other things and I think C&P will be the priority based on the community of the forums, So I'm not expecting anything powerplay wise for quite some time.
We are also in the process of adding the vanity cam for the on foot character.
Though, conversely, if the ship itself is being shot at, being a bigger target is a bad thing.In regards to question 17. Are you implying it would be advantageous for a commander to buy a ship kit from the ARX store for extra cover/shielding.
How about David's idea from one of the very early interviews, where he was talking about sneaking into someone's ship cargo space and so on?
To be fair they did say that Odyssey would not include ship interiors "at launch" (whatever that means). A firmer answer on it (i.e. "yes we are going to do it" or "we are thinking about it") would be nice though...So, it's definite no for ship interiors then, at least for this release of Odyssey?
I was so looking forward to that part as FRj shows below.
The simple solutions are always the best!...then ram whoever was trying to shoot you into orbit.

So with what you're saying I might as well just stand under a ship for cover, being protected by the ships shield.Though, conversely, if the ship itself is being shot at, being a bigger target is a bad thing.
I doubt it'll be a major practical difference - no more so than the minor advantage of ships painted the same colour as the background being harder to spot, for example - after all, if your ship is there, you could just get into it, be fully protected regardless of ship kit, then ram whoever was trying to shoot you into orbit.
will there be caves in odyssey?
As a result of this bumper edition Thursday stream, we won't be able to do our weekly AMA with you today. Fear not though, we've sneakily been collecting all your Odyssey questions from the last few AMA sessions and have been gathering as many answers as we can from our development team! Here is a selection of some of the questions and answers we've been able to bring you!

Like a leaf on the wind@Rat Catcher fetched up another interestingly hilarious scenario of being able to impale a commander with the raider spikes of a ship kit.
Poor Wash... I was 'not amused' by that scene...Like a leaf on the wind
Any plans to introduce improved anti aliasing in Odyssey?
We are not changing this engine, we are however looking at any issues and fixing them ready for launch.
