Are there any plans to have our ship sensors synched to our mobiglas? This would allow us to periodically check up on our exterior surroundings while we are exploring interior area and make sure we're not left stranded.asked by Cpt. Darkstar
TL;DRChris Roberts says the ship computer would potentially link to your visor or mobiGlas with some functionality, such as boarding alarms, and describes planned scenario-like missions, with Arena Commander as the test-bed for such features.
Yeah, I think you'd have your ship computer potentially linked to your suit visor or mobiglas, maybe not its full functionality, but definitely some of it. You might be able to look up nav-maps or courses you could chart before doing the final entry back on your ship. You could have an alarm on your ship that warns you if someone boards your ship while you're exploring say a derelict ship in space. There are some cool things we have planned for that, in fact today I was looking at a prototype we have for depressurising your cockpit, opening it and EVA'ing out to a derelict ship, opening it and going inside, seeing what happened, getting a ships log, and meanwhile a vanduul attack happens and you have to rush back to your ship to get involved/get out. AC is sort of the test-bed for a lot of the ship-flying stuff we have planned for the PU and SQ42, so down the road we'll start to add some more scenario-like missions like that to AC that might be Co-Op or single player before they're all utilised in the PU. These are things we are looking at doing in AC looking forward towards 2.0.
