Re: Ejecting out of your ship in space

If your in space and your with an idiot pilot then you just suicide and spawn again.

If your sat in a landed ship and you want to get out, then you can. What Im talkin about is locking the craft (im talkin about 1 man/2man fighters here) when its in the air/space.

This would stop transport pilots from bailing and leaving the crew to die (like what happens in bf2142 alot) ....passengers in the transport ships would most likely have pods. Making sure pilots of transport ships cant jump straight out of the ship is important to me. I would also hope its possible for an icon or sound to appear if the pilot has moved to a passenger/pod position , so some1 can easily move to the pilot position.Other than that you just lock the pilot into the pilot position...

I dont know if any of this possible (im not a coder) but we will look into it for sure.

Re: Ejecting out of your ship in space

or better bandu: pilot not beeing able to change seats unless landed or when there are no passengers.
but i dont exit a transport that fast. there spawnpoints and hovering around a flag/silo lets people spawn on it.
so your save with me in a transport tongue

Re: Ejecting out of your ship in space

I think that when you eject you should just go into an enviro suit, which could be coded similarly to a drop pod. It would have weak thrusters, and you could slowly move back to your base, unless a teammate is nice enough to come and pick you up.  Maybe there would be a way to give points for saving people who are floating around.It's just an idea, so don't be too harsh.

Re: Ejecting out of your ship in space

That probably could be done, but I don't think its lore accurate... None of the pilots in the movies had that kind of equipment that I could see...

Re: Ejecting out of your ship in space

If we wanted to be truely lore-accurate, we could have ejection equal instant death, just for the hell of it...

Heh, unfortunatley I often hit my 'E' key instead of 'W' alot being that they are so close, so I would not be a happy camper.

Re: Ejecting out of your ship in space

I'd like to see players eject and be left floating in space in some Woodrow-coded 0G-simulating bundle of floaters or whatever BF uses for boats these days.

Then you just have a Rebel/Imperial shuttle vehicle that can fly around and scoop up these floating pilots, or run into them splattering them against the windscreen.

Your choice big_smile
