Cut a long story short I got exploded by the authorities. Obviously I blame powerplay/CGs,CQC. waaa, waa, boo hoo etc.

Anyway, check out the shadow on the station as I eject.

It seems we're leaving our ships before the expansion.

Nice, never seen from this angle!

That looked really nice!

Commander Dave · Jul 23, 2015

Very cool.
I was hoping to see the shadow of the escape pod too.

I love the little details like this that FD implement, even if it's something you wouldn't go around looking for, it definitely adds to the charm of the game. Though, I was expecting to see flailing limbs too

They haven't implemented physical escape pod yet. I hope they will some day.

That is very cool and nice attention to detail eh?
I have nearly crashed into an outpost more than once whilst being very impressed by the fact that I could watch the landing gear of my ship lower in to place on the shadow cast by my ship on the outpost. It's attention to detail like this that make me smile

This is the little detail that consumes much time, and is so little noted or appreciated.

Not wanting to sound cynical, but I don't see it. Do you mean the wreckage shadow, or was there a shadow of the pilot as you ejected that I missed?

If it was just the wreckage shadow, it was neat to see from that angle.

CmdrJacks · Jul 23, 2015

I'm not 100%, but it looks to me the shadow of a pilot in an ejector seat.

See what you mean, though it could just be ship debris that happens to look like that. I suggest you go and explode some more in the name of scientific research and good empirical evidence!

(I totally would but my shadows suck and shadowplay kills my fps)

Pareidolia in action. Looks like debris to me.

daygobah · Jul 24, 2015

Thats one thing i never got about the game.

The violence of the ship blowing up but we survive it some how to buy another ship again?

I want my ship then armored with my spacesuits armor because its much better then the ships armor.

And you dont even get injured either.

You could park your ship, and "free sidewinder" it all day. . .For research. I would suggest filming it. . .For entertainment (mine).
