So giving player a choice where to respaw is beyond FDev game designer imagination that is what you are saying?

I remember them saying when we died on foot we would get a choice to respawn at our ship or the last base we were at, too. Seems to be a choice of one!
Ain't there some team option that could impact spawn mechanism?'
Like :
if you are teamed - you respawn in your last embarked team buddy ship
you are not teamed - you respawn in your last ship.

I don't think so (maybe it isn't working properly?), but that is how it should work!

Perfect solution.
And if you were wanted and your bounty got claimed, go to jail.
It's becoming clear to me, at least, that the problem with elite is lack of resources.
They must have a skeleton team running it right now.
It took two years for odyssey? Yet, there are serious flaws in the design.
And the overall amount of content is fairly underwhelming.
Obviously this is more than the Team could handle. So I am not blaming developers.
Reviews on Glassdoor say that the Pay at Frontier doesn't meet the living requirements of the area and there is a lot of outsourcing going on.
Kind of makes me think that there is not a whole lot of dedicated people working on the project.
The buck stops with management and Braben in this case.

lol - I like your avatar update
The restart near your teammates should happen if u re in a team with me, if u leave team, back to main menu and reload into your old position. As NoMansSky
Or here's an idea, let's not artificially make it even harder and a worse experience to try and play multiplayer. How about using the tools of the game and let people play with others without hoops to jump through.
If you plan journey that will take multiple days, how about the option to pick up where they left off? Why this arbitrarily "until they log off" crap. It's almost as if a multiplayer game is allergic to being multiplayer friendly.
Buy this man a beer... it's that easy of a fix you should get these choices if you die or are disconnected and re-join the same wing you were in.
Chill, I didn't design it!
Sorry about that, just a kneejerk reaction, because apparently the new trend is to voraciously defend any bad gameplay implementation there is in ED, just for the fun of it.
No harm done, o7
They really need to rethink this though, because at it stand, any slight disturbance in the force.. I mean networking can seriously set back a multiplayer on foot mission. And we know how stable the P2P connections in Elite can be.
Not just MP, same can happen SP too.
I flew down to do a surface mission, left my ship just to the side of the base... things didn't go to plan and, I became unconscious and imprissoned.
A brief teleport approx 100 light years (via black screen) and I found myself free.
Except, I had to book an Apex shuttle, but it couldn't make it back to my ship without a few stop-offs and rebooking of flights...
By which time, I couldn't be bothered anymore re-attempting the mission, longest re-spawn, ever!.
And they don't want to waste my time walking through my ship, but its fine making me walk through the docking area into the station to book another apex, rinse repeat, so I can finally get back to my ship. Why didn't they impound it, with me? Anyway... now that's off my chest

Isn't that the subtitle for Elite: Dangerous?

Yeah, according to FD, regardless of if your ship is clean or dirty it's supposed to follow you to the detention center.Not just MP, same can happen SP too.

Unfortunately that, too, seems to not be working as designed at the moment.

For some of the game, certainly, but not all of it.
I don't think FD are incompetent, far from it. I just think that they.... how do I put it... have a vision for a video game that just isn't a very fun "game" at times.
Which is funny, because it worked just fine in the alpha, when the space jail was just a generic station. I'm starting to think it doesn't work, because they don't have an Inter Astra.

Maybe. I just don't know.
Hopefully they'll get it figured out soon.
