Escape Pods

[zikolach]

Ok, next time you die just sit there and wait a calculated time that would be necessary for a player to fly out, find your escape pod, pick it up, carry it back to the bubble or wherever the last station you docked at is, consistency restored. me I prefer to play the game!

Is there an option not to wait? I usually go to the distant place experiencing death over and over again in my head, so had no idea who and when recovers my body out of escape pod... just joking.

But seriously, I wouldn't wait there and thought of this variant just as an alternative/optional approach. Like there are people calling fuel rats instead of just self destroy and teleport loosing some progress. Maybe this idea could also find their adherents. Maybe even providing certain benefits in form of unique missions or bonuses.

And no, it's not that I would not play another character, it's simply that wouldn't be me, when I play these games I am a person, one person, not two or four or however many you and other players want, that character is me, and it would be hugely inconsistent to suddenly appear as the same consciousness in another player body, but of course you are quite happy to ignore the inconsistency of that because it suits you!

Many players have alternative characters on different accounts - it doesn't break immersion for them. But I see your point. That's not for you.
