RIP to your Cmdr luckily we are immortal in this game imagine it you had to completely restart your cmdr if you died lol. NOW that would really put the dangerous in elite dangerous.

I bug out anytime it looks like my second ring is about to drop and pop off shield cells and then head back into the fight. Though I'm just in pve that tactic likely wouldn't go over well against human Cmdrs that actually give chase.

Is that what got ya? I didn't see that part and wondered why your ship went down so suddenly I'll watch it again. I've had some near misses trying to chase people down in res sites and boost way too fast in my vette through the asteroids. It's probably just a matter of time before I smack into one too lol.

I saw it after rewatching bum luck there happens to the best of us. Didn't seem like your ship gave you much warning other then the small proximity alert at the top right of the HUD. Itd be nice if our main radar flashed or something to give us more of a warning about imminent impacts.

Yeah since that would be easier to spot being in our main field of vision and not in a corner at the top right. Either have a blinking radar screen or have the asteroid itself flash if we are too close would help a lot in avoiding them.

One trick I use in dim asteroid fields is to use my night vision. It may make stuff look ugly but it helps make ships more visible too.

Like the original game! Where the escape pod was your first purchase (if you were smart), and the station killed more CMDR's than all other possible deaths combined.

I still think escape pods should be a thing... Make them jump capable with a fuel scoop, and the debate on what happens to your when you die is quickly answered.

I could already Imagine the complaints of the jump range being to small :p

Doubt thatll happen. Theyve always avoided things that affect the HUD for some reason

Might be technical issues or something if we were able to change it I dunno much about game programming though. As a ps4 player I envy the other platforms that are allowed to change their huds to different colors though by now I'm so used to the amber color itd probably throw me off to change it.
