What happens if my communication systems and engines got blown up, but the attacker decides to just leave me helpless out in space? Will I be doomed for all eternity to wait for another player to come around and rescue me? Or will there be a mechanic that makes an NPC "visit" me after like 30 minutes of inactivity?asked by BlackEagle

Especially out in the Persistent Universe, we don't wanna see players floating out forever and getting stranded. So we'll probably put some mechanics in place so you get auto-rescued after a certain amount of time. We don't have a time-frame established right this moment, but that's our line of thought at this time.Because it goes beyond engines – what if you eject and are floating out in space? So the idea is that there is some kind of beacon built into your flight suit and then there will be people out there who earn money by rescuing people. So you could be a mission for a player or even an NPC to come rescue you, and then you're back in the game.
