What, you don't like my hook? T_T

Sigh here we go again



Then I guess you haven't read the 2nd link: Space itself isn't "cold" or "hot" it can't be - the temperature can only apply to matter, Vacuum is absence of matter (or very very tiny amount) as such space itself if very very good insulator. There is a reason your coffee stays so hot in thermos for such long time - due to vacuum in the hollow walls.

Yes eventually the body will radiate enough heat to freeze but it won't be fast enough at all.




I am not sure you know the meaning of words you say: google sublimation - it cannot apply neither to water nor mercury inside barometer. And liquids don't expand in same way as gasses do, they might experience depressed boiling point + increased evaporation causing the said goo to actually boil outside (and this could lower the temperature of it btw) but that would depend on the goo itself and its surface tension (which would probably be higher than that of water)



You know how canon works? it is main intent is to describe the current game effects if you follow it to the letter you will wind up with exact mechanic we have now - maybe your memory is still weak and you simply forgot you waking up in the lag and only started properly remembering things when you are up, dressed and back in your CQ.

Funny thing again but your initial design was also contradictory to the cannon but you kinda ignored that. In fact your version is even more far fetched as you imagine the now corpse not only injected with toxins but nerve fried. While still maintaining stable connection to the camera drones outside of the pod. Seems very unlikely to me.

While the idea of a Neo awakening could actually hold ground even with neurotoxins, because think about it - who actually tested the results? And how can they be tested? we are talking about seconds even milliseconds here: maybe toxins are not fast enough to effectively shut the consciousness down before the pod cracks open. But it can't be proven because capsuleers do not retain that memory - memory has been transferred before application of neurotoxin.

About nerve damage - don't forget, that one of the things our body knows how to do best even without consciousness is to collect information from sensory organs (unless you specifically kill these). maybe the dying body will not be able to process it but while sensory system is active it will see it.

Besides Capsuleers might start to develop some sort of resistance to the memory transfer as technologies get better and our brain is better adapted for such transfer (If you remember correctly your jump clones aren't really damaged that much by it, this could also "help" )




Note I didn't try to kill your suggestion at all - i tried to elaborate it, enhance it even. In turn you are calling stuff "lame" because it apparently a bit different from your suggestion. If you are that stubborn - I am afraid you idea would never work at all.

Learn to adapt

Actually that is entirely plausible to find yourself standing fully dressed without memory how you did that. If just the memory is affected, but not reasoning sort of like early onset of Alzheimers.

And still living body emerging from the pod is likely too: although there is also a similar possibility of the body being destroyed by the actual ammunition (exactly on the moment of hull breach).

Problem with the suggestion of additional stuff in CQ lies very close to the problem of incarna itself: There are numerous people that never leave the pod in stations - and many never will even with incarna getting a second breath. For them it is the space game only. As such there will be a quite large chunk of people, who will not even notice the difference. In fact even detest it if it would be a requirement. Since they would not see it as immersion but additional hurdle after death that is handled by the stuff they never really liked in the first place.

And afaik the most deadly battles usually happen in places where RP is not as common (bubbles help greatly) So our primary target audience should actually be the 0.0 population - And speaking from my previous experience of nullsec life - they will treat it as waste of time.

The cinematic before death however would be actually treated differently due to psychological reasons as well: They are still on battlefield, perhaps seeing the final moments of the battle, and the change in perspective due to size difference would not only add immersion, but also contribute to the cinematic effect of ones life in battle. While the cinematic after battle would be usually psychologically treated as dead cutscene: you are already at the station - how come I have to watch it and not just jump into next ship - my people need me!


Just think about it from coolness factor - what is more awesome to add to the game - image of the epic battle above you, or the image of you getting dressed and wobbly walking from the "axlotl tanks".

it is your words, that greatly insult your intelligence.

I have shown proof of my ideas with 2 links: one if directly from NASA.GOV, while second one was written by NASA-employed, MIT physics graduate.

You on the other hand never went beyond personal attacks without any scientific backing or constructive thought.



If you want to continue discussion that could actually benefit this idea of yours come back with at least scientifically-backed results. Any further attempts to ruin your own idea will be ignored.

(Yes I've decided to step down to this level simply because I actually liked the idea (but not the execution of it))

Eidric,

Pig's ideas are better than any of yours. Instead of debating science, how about you debate the effects in which he refers? Its obvious this game isn't pinned down completely to science, otherwise stations would actually orbit planets and moons and my spaceship wouldn't slow down when the engines stopped or I would at least see some retro rocket fire I mean come on! So stop trying to show off how smart you think you are because you half-*** read some science articles and admit that the effect could use some change!

Podded again, still lame...

Yeah, I could go for a neat lil video maybe the first time you get podded, for the noobs, but I'm as concerned about refitting and redeploying quickly as the next guy. Gotta keep the regular everyday clip/effect/whatever short.

Supported. Every experience should be cool, even the ones that suck.
