How do you envision players getting people into cells on the Cutlass Blue? Will they need to be incapacitated via injury/restraints then put in the cell by the player or will there be a cutscene of you putting the player in your cell?asked by Craigr910
TL;DRHolding cells are still being worked out; the thinking is that a captured player appears in the cell via a cutscene but only for a short time-out, to avoid griefing, before a prison interstitial.
In terms of holding cells we're still figuring out the dynamics. If you're a bounty hunter and you got and arrest someone, we don't want you to be able to hold someone in that cell indefinitely because that enables griefing, so what we're thinking is you capture someone, they'll be in your cell for your intents and purposes, but the player who WAS captured has a very small time-out then ends up in the whatever-you-call-it prison interstitial, as a bit of a time wasting penalty that they need to serve or escape from. Essentially what we'll do is put someone IN your holding cell, so maybe you arrest them when you board their ship, or perhaps you stun them on planetside (if we're allowing you to do that) then that person/what they look like will "appear" in the cell through a cutscene or similar visuals, and on the other side the player will come back into the world in their own way.
