Could we get an update on the new medical respawn and medical screen rework? The ability to choose a home location as well as a ship or different location, instead of always having just one location, would be an insanely welcome improvement.asked by Noah Floer
TL;DRThe intention is for players to choose on death between several permanent respawn locations (hospital, base, ship) plus temporary ones, which they say will come in a future update with no date given.
Good ideas, great minds think alike. So the expectation with medical is that when you die, you will have multiple options for you to be able to choose from. So you should be able to have your main hospital location, depending on where you want to imprint. You should be able to in the future also have a location for your base. You should be able to have a ship location. So there's like three permanent locations that you'll be able to imprint. And on death, you will be able to choose which one you want to go to, if you've got a specific ship, if you've got a specific base or a specific location.
Or if you've been camped, you can go back to what you want.
You can choose. Then you should also have access to some transient locations. So for example, if you're in one of our large mission operations where you want to be, say, in a line of mine, or you want to be able to respawn at a location, you'll be able to log that imprint, and that will be a temporary imprint that you'll be able to switch back and forth, and vice versa. You'll be able to also have a temporary imprint on somebody else's ship. So you should have these options available to you, and you can choose which location you respawn. And obviously once we've done the Death of a Spaceman in terms of the DNA integrity that ties into your respawn mechanic, that will obviously have wider ramifications depending on where you actually respawn and the tier of the bed and the facilities. But that's what we want. That's been the decision. We've had that design and vision for a long time, and we still want to do that, and we will be bringing that to you in a future update.
