FTL Communication FTW.


We don't use radio for a vast majority of communications you know.

It only makes sense that being podded in Wspace should lead to the long hard sleep.

Duh, that's CCP's REAL plan for making space feel less crowded.

Warpdrives also require insanely specialized equipment. But the pod has it.

All pods will be equipped with a "brainscan messenger drone".

Deployed upon pod destruction, it will fly at speeds up to 50 AU/sec thru W-space and any wormholes that it can find until K-space is reached. Upon entering K-space it will then transmit its data which will eventually wind up in your clone's brain.

The brainscan messenger drone will weigh less than 1 kg and have a signature radius of 10 cm, thus preventing it from causing wormhole collapse and making it impossible to target and destroy.

Or something like that.

Eve backstory establishes that the FTL communication requires specialized paired equipment. IE there is a communications network that you must be hooked into to use it. You still use non-ftl communication to transmit the data to a nearby station or gate which relays the data.

No nearby stations or gates in the network, and your signal won't be recieved and forwarded.

Thus a spaceship will usually buy a router pair from a network provider. One box will be placed in the spaceship, while the other one kept in the network providerFs backbone, that will have connections to other routers, thus effectively forming a decentralized network, where messages can be routed across many routers and many providers. This architecture is similarly to the ancient Internet.

A thought occurred to me.
Lets say you jump into Wspace and have your probe launcher like a good little explorer.
Then you get blown up by an npc.
The npc won't pod you, and there is no way to kill yourself. How would you jump back into your medical clone?

Pods can self-destruct too.

Considering that the cloning mechanism works by relaying a complete mental scan through the interstellar communications network based on the gates, and that wormhole space will have no gates or compatible infrastructure.

It only makes sense that being podded in Wspace should lead to the long hard sleep.

IMHO it would really establish wormhole space as a mechanic for newer players, and keep the "ancients" from monopolizing it like they do all other new content.

Why can't we clone jump into w-space then?

I am not much of a role-player, but I do see value in stuff being somewhat based on some sort of pseudo-science or whatever. Basically, when the game provides a restriction, the reasoning for said restriction should not be, 'because that wouldn't make this the way we envisioned it'. My first example of this is the Jump Clones. Basically, the reason you say they will not be allowed is because the only way in and out will be through the wormholes. That's all well and good, but is inconsistent with the fact that normal medical clones will still function. What strange phenomenon could there be that would prevent jump clones, but allow emergency medical clone jumps?

---

Off the top of my head, exotic radiation in these new systems makes non-destructive brain-scanning extremely dangerous, as the slower process used in jump clones to avoid killing the clone is very vulnerable to certain radiation types interfering with the instruments and corrupting the scan.
