Myth Busted: SRV Telepresence

A picture they say is worth a thousand words.
Please note the bottom left corner - two words "Telepresence - Active"

And there you have it.

Is that photoshopped? On mine it says Neural Link Active. And that's only for the turret.

Any transition that is a simple fade in/fade out (SRV, ship change) is you actually getting into the vehicle in question. Any transition marked by a screen blink (turret, SLF) is telepresence/neural link. I've heard stories of players in SRVs surviving after their landed ship was destroyed. That would be impossible if it was a telepresence connection.

Yes you telepresence into the turret from the SRV cockpit like in multicrew we will able to telepresence from ship to ship and then telepresence from ship to gunner station. What we don't do is telepresence to the SRV cockpit from the ship.

How does the SRV survive and controllable without anybody in there when your ship is destroyed? And no it isn't a bug.

I don't use telepresence. I astrally project!

Bad for you, i got some silver swords ready to pirate in astral space :D


Pretty sure that the srv turret says neural link,
but it is the same tech i guess only used locally,
over short distance.
Like comparing WAN (Telepresence) to LAN/CAN (neural Link)
networks.

Damn Giths!
 
Because we're not actually in our ships either, we're actually at whichever station we wind up at when we rebuy. And no, it's not photoshopped. That's what's on the screen.

SRV's don't "survive", they're just machines, much like that body-shaped thing in our chairs. The next evidence to be offered will be peering into the cockpit of a ship from an SRV.
If there's still a body shape in the chair AND the SRV at the same time...

When on SRV the ship pilot chair is indeed empty
 
This is cute.

Now take your turrets that you have on that SRV. Point them at the ship that your are theoretically using telepresence from.

Blow that ship up.

Where are you?

You might notice you're still in the SRV....

It's totally telepresence. That's why if you die in the SRV you just pop back into your ship.

That's how I've always taken it.

Oh damnit... I hadn't thought of that.

Nah, it's just like when your ship blows up and you reappear back at the station. It's a gaming thing people don't question and Frontier doesn't explain.

Otherwise why can you dismiss your mothership from the SRV and not the SLF? Really they should make these identical for so many reasons. SLFs would be so much more fun to fly and race over planets without the nanny ship anchoring them in place.

Hunh... I only did the SLF thing once, and not for very long. Is there a max range from the mothership or something?

30 km for the SLF. If you go outside that range the SLF explodes. This about 75 seconds of flying in one direction, so a very short tether for explorers.

2 km for the SRV. If you go outside that range, the mothership auto dismisses itself. So the SRVs range is effectively infinite.

I really want to say these threads are giving me cancer...

But then I realize I'd mock someone for saying anything like that...

And then I remember how much I dislike the passive aggressive threads about 2.3. So, yeah, these threads are giving me cancer. [big grin]

Applies to turret only. You can still clearly see that your pilot is physically in the SRV with the external camera. Also, your ship registers as unmanned. And if they were telepresence, why the need for life support?
