Can we look forward to possibly other means of carrying incapacitated bodies, perhaps a fireman carry? The dragging can take pretty long for longer distances.
TL;DRThey want other body-carrying methods for longer distances, and are looking into restraints that would tie into carrying and bounty hunting, but give no timing and restraint details are undecided.
Yes. Yeah, we feel the same way about dragging. It's obviously great to be able to drag a body out of fire. For us, that's the dream of close combat fighting and dragging someone away whilst pew-pewing back into cover. But long distances, and also, to be honest, when you're trying to pick them up to put them into the med bed, and further down the line, bounty hunting, shoving someone into a storage locker, sorry, cryopod, you're going to want to pick them up rather than be dragging them all over the place. So yeah, we really want that. I'm not sure when that's going to be, but it is something we want to do.
So, yeah, restraining is a system that we're definitely currently actually looking into. Obviously Chris mentioned bounty hunting, so bounty hunting is going to be pretty difficult if you can't tie someone up in some fashion. So we don't know what restraints are going to be yet in terms of, is it going to be zip ties, is it going to be handcuffs or anything like that, but you're going to want to be able to restrain someone's arms and legs so you can not let them escape. We had a quite funny moment in the office actually where I was like, oh, just bind the hands, and, obviously doubting myself, I'm a big guy, I'm not very fit, if I got on the floor and someone tied my hands together, I might struggle to get up. But Joes very kindly demonstrated how easy it was to just stand up no problem with your hands behind your back. But yeah, the idea is you're going to restrain them, arms, legs, so they can't escape. And then we'll tie that into body carry and into bounty hunting so you can put them, maybe not in storage lockers like Chris's school bully days, but into cryopods instead. And it'd be kind of rubbish if you're trying to bring someone in alive and you're on a bit of a rocky planet and you just bump, bump, bump all the way back to your ship. They might not survive the trip. It reminds me of the Wild West days where someone would get dragged by a rope behind someone's horse. We probably don't want that.
