Since I keep crashing and stuff like dodgy disappearing space stations..
Should not there be a red cross / red crescent rescue service in space..

Picking up us poor hapless pilots roaring in the void in our spacesuits or for the posh types...escape pods etc..

Maybe some independent pilots could pick us up for rewards, as we take in the sights.,

Sorry if this is in the wrong topic thread

Elite is a harsh and unforgiving world. Enlist in the military, for a health care plan. Otherwise, loiters and idlers will be vaporized. :p

I think that stuff like this should be possible. I already proposed it in another thread.
FD should encourage players helping each other, but also npc, by incorporating all kinds of mechanisms that allow for this.
Currently we can kill each other, or help each other killing others.

That is not enough.
David Braben repeatedly said he prefers coop to pvp. In that case the game should feature mechanisms to help each other.

I already proposed being given the tools to help out pilots with broken canopies for example. Or perhaps one could give first aid, help with field repairs etc. etc.

All these things should be in to stimulate true coop and allow for a wider range of human behavior. If a game only offers tools for killing than that is what you will see.
There are many of us who would very much enjoy helping those in need. But if the game does not support that we can only stand by or help you out with a well placed bullet between the eyes.

I am pretty sure player deployable distress beacons have been mentioned before by FD. I thinks David's comment was that you would not know who might come. Of course you could be the one setting the trap.

Those fancy Anaconda types should do more then take aggressive scans and coffee breaks...

I think in the richer core worlds, esp, with no anarchy, medical ships should be easy to get to you.. And pick you up
On the fringe worlds yeah then sending a beacon you either get rescued or caught by pirates for ransom or worse.... Thargoids!!!

I remember a story, one from the Frontier Elite 2, ones, where some genetic materials would be salvaged and the body reconstituted... Haha bit like Fifth Element...

Could be done for fees / insurance or rewards...

Nice bit of animation would be cool too
