[No immersion broken] Player crewmate is actually telepresence and HD hologram

[maxpayne]

Come on, it is 3302. Isn't hologram be a norm in the ship???

NPC crew is an actual person on board so they will die if the ship gets ka-boomed.

Instead, player crew is composed of telepresence and hotogram in the ship.
You can control the ship function and walk inside the ship (in the near future I hope)
Your connection with the ship is broken once the ship got destroyed.
Once elite-feet is out, you can't walk outside of the host ship because you are only a ship-generated hologram.

If you want to actually meet your friend "face to face"(ship to ship), you have to fly your way to your friend to wing up!

To FDev:

Please add a line "Telepresence and hologram established" in the information panel once the player is multi-crewed to stop these IMMERSION VS GAMEPLAY argument.
Perhaps modifying the player model in the SLF to make it more "disposal like" too?

So.... why is there anyone in the ship at all then?

They're not!

How do you think you get back to the station so fast after ploughing your Cobra in to a sun?!

I don't trust others to offload my onionhead onto the black market.

Oh.. Well, I always wanted to be a pilot of a space ship. Not the bellend playing a game like I actually am.

I real time (no lag), and at tens of thousands of light years distance?
This has to be a troll.

Maxis were the first to bend people over this particular barrel when people started realising that playing The Sims was basically re-enacting the work/sleep routine they are using their time to escape from...

 

[Doc_Holiday]

So can I remove my life support to cut weight?

 

[Terry Bruge-Hiplo]

I hope they're not a hologram! They'd disappear every time the canopy got blown out!

 

[Bomba Luigi]

I would prefer broken immersion over telepresence

 

[CMDR Tom D]

It's basically this, and when was the last time you heard a Red Dwarf fan spount "but Muh Emmurshon"

There isn't.

You're sitting at your PC at home.

It's entirely possible with quantum entanglement.

 

[Bomba Luigi]

It's entirely possible with quantum entanglement.

And yet a Telepresence controlled SLF can't work at more then 30km distance ^^

 

[Jukelo]

FTL coms are supposed to be super rare and expensive, and yet here we are, able to control ships from across the galaxy at will and somehow even use that link to create money out of thin air by duplicating bounties! Funny how all that quantic stuff works I guess...

 

[VR jefranklin18]

Instead of saying "yeah telepresence", I wish Ed had said "because its a <expletive> game and sometimes things have to be included for gameplay reasons"

 

[The Wallet Inspector]

They're not!

Sounds like a failure to construct a believable universe, i feel sorry for the people writing the official fiction. These are going to be some dull stories... but who reads books these days anyways, books are for stupids!

Or you could play a video game.

Why would they? One is a parody of science fiction, the other is Red Dwarf...

Except for your NPC crew, we send them out on the ship...

NPC: Erm...Commander are you not physically coming with us then to do this incredibly dangerous mission?

CMDR:You know I'd love to, but because of reasons I'll just ride along as a hologram. Don't worry I've got your back.
