Not true since we can interact with objects while on-footI always thought you were a holo projection so when you die in a ship they just put you back at the last place visited, that would explain the multicrew mechanic and telepresence stuff
[Lore] Death in Elite
- Thread starter Davadin
- Start date
Also, sadly, if you die, there is a dead body on the ground... And if it was a holopresence, with a data connectivity requirements so high, that we cannot even fathom it today, why can the same data link be used to transfer the exploration data to some safe RAID in my fleet carrier, for example?I always thought you were a holo projection so when you die in a ship they just put you back at the last place visited, that would explain the multicrew mechanic and telepresence stuff
Yeah it was in the second and third Elites your combat kills were rewarded immediately, seeing as we can transmit data around the planet almost instantly why cant they transmit data galactic in 3307?Also, sadly, if you die, there is a dead body on the ground...

No, we did not. How are we supposed to know if there is any?
This is no longer the case. They retconned that... or at least they added to it with Odyssey. They don't publicize the manual anymore because much of it is out of date.
In Odyssey they said that the PF has a special division called the Rescue Rangers that goes out and picks up CMDRs when they eject.
So, assuming this is big dealie type outfit and elite thing probably composed of all Elite-ranked or higher CMDRs, it would probably be megaship or FC-assisted. So they could probably get you back fairly quick if the situation in-lore is that PF membership really is just the actual players in Elite.
SLFs are still telepresence sadly. After I started with Odyssey, I though of a situation that when you start the jump countdown with the SLF out, you would hear a thunk on the hull after a second or so. Then you'd land and get out of the ship and you would find an escape pod mag-locked to your hull and you'd have to cut it open to recover your pilot. Or just dock somewhere. Works for one fighter but not six. I think I prefer micro-FSD.
Either way it doesn't matter. If they wanted to, they could just make up something on the fly. Some guardian thing which enables pre-prepared transport over short very short distances. Useless in a lot of cases but useful for a SLF-to-ship transport system.

You eject. [automated]
Your pilots seat is above a hatch that blasts down, your suit seals. [automated]
Your ship sends a distress call. [automated]
These things are hard wired into the ships systems and may not easily be bypassed.
When you eject your suit is freezing and you are tiny. Likely blasted away from the ship at some force as it goes into it's several second death throws. By the time the reactor explodes, and the final, deadly explosion occurs, you are between 500m and several km out.
At this point, long range search and rescue teams, operating from various stations (remember, even in the deep black, there are ouposts) are sent.
Maybe your Carriers S&R team get involved, or maybe your squadron has S&R pilots.
The only thing that is not covered here is time in transit/time lost.
This of course is the big thing in ED's MMO nature, and why FSD is a thing the way it is.
It's why in Odyssey if you are gunned down, you can return from a field medic in less than 30 seconds. It's all handwaved, nothing we can do about that.

If this is the case, then my recent explosion 15m above the surface of a planet ended up with me getting driven deep into the surface of the planet...
Yeah when you add planets and all of the ody shenanigans it gets weird enough that you just can't quite handwave it.If this is the case, then my recent explosion 15m above the surface of a planet ended up with me getting driven deep into the surface of the planet...
For example. I've died by being backed over by my friends scorpion.
I've also killed NPCs by ramming them with a @#$$ing fed vette. Like from above. Squishing like bugs.
Some things you just would not ever survive.
If that is true, then maybe the convert oxygen to power? (electricity)
so you would be hanging out in another port maybe?I always thought you were a holo projection so when you die in a ship they just put you back at the last place visited, that would explain the multicrew mechanic and telepresence stuff
Its a weird thing but the only thing that would explain the instantaneous respawn that occurs on death, how does one get from beagle point to a safe station in a few seconds there no explaining it in lore
.Its not as though we have a dredger in every system etc, also the transporting alone can take ages to get to there so how do thet do it in the seconds after explosion and rebuy. Which is where the holo-me comes in it is just a respawn they just put us back where we were no questions asked
Its right there, on the launcher.
correction, 3308
the planet one, maybe there is a hatch above the seat, that blasts you away?
Ironically galnet can transmit anywhere in the galaxy maybe they should use the bounty system ob a subchannel of that
Sorry, they need to save the bandwidth for the propaganda...Ironically galnet can transmit anywhere in the galaxy maybe they should use the bounty system ob a subchannel of that
I would say that humans are partly machine. You are a biomechanical organism. You have nanites in you that actively repair damage. That is how i justify that you didnt get insta cancer from being up the atmosphere of stars. All it needs is a active tint to save your retinas from the light the namites deal with the radiation damage. Humans being partly machine also makes us much more durable, able to take high G manuvers much better than our more mushy predecessors and its also how we can get shot up and just get right back into the action. You get parts replaced/new nanites and youre good to go. When down your suit sends a interstellar SOS signal to have the rescue rangers come save you.
what about black holes? what if we are past the event horizon?
