Self-Destruct/Suicide For Odyssey Commanders

Odyssey needs an option for a foot commander to self destruct to get out of lockout situations. Or else, launching Horizons forces the commander to teleport to the primary ship. That theoretically opens “fast travel” exploits, but they are probably not going to matter much.

A lot of the problems are associated with being in NPC flown ships; a “go home” command would work in those situations as well.

“Suicide” is not how it should be labelled. Perhaps call it “emergency rescue,” but it has side effects equivalent to dying on foot so that it’s not amenable to exploits.

(Support can fix these issues, but it’s a lot easier if the players can do it themselves.)

God please let it be original total recall style suicide option!!

camera goes third person.
you take off your helmet and your eyes explode out of your head and you fall down to your knees then flat on the ground in a heap.
fade to black


there's another cut scene where you take your blaster and put it to overload... the camera cuts to third person and you detonate. pieces of leg and arms etc get tossed into the air to slowly fall to the surface (if low gravity)

make it so!!

We've already had the age rating increased so we can shoot others, what would happen to it if Fdev enables suicide?

At least in a ship they can hand wave it as "self destruct" and escape pods 😂

You know you can just let the oxygen run out and you'll die eventually. I had to do that after my team won at a combat zone, as I had no option for pickup.

Bugs can put you into a place where you don’t run out of oxygen (or, it’s very slow).

Yes, one of the challenges is how to label this. Maybe call it “emergency rescue” that has side effects similar to dying on foot.

Oh man. I've been trying to do some Odyssey Multiplayer and Suicide would be very helpful. I've had situations in which people i'm playing with get dropped out in free space outside of a station. Sadly, in case anyone is wondering, you cannot scoop them up with your cargo scoop nor can you shoot them. And.... would you believe, i forgot my limpets!

Pull out your recharge zapper thingy and fire it repeatedly, you run out of power far quicker than air!
