My current incarnation is just a small and temporary mechanism that serves a greater immortal will. Life and death are a seamless continuum to me, so why is it that even on the fanciest of machines, when I die the first thing I usually notice is my evemail flash informing me that a new clone has been activated, meanwhile my screen has already begun to load the station ship-spinner, or! if you are one of those damn hippies like me who run captains quarters because they like the whole 'seamless' thing CCP was going for despite the obvious shortcomings of incarna, then you find yourself standing upright in your quarters like "wtf dude...". Not very seamless.
So CCP, how about we stay up late one night and come up with something a little cooler than that. I know you guys could come up with an awesome way to die. I would also wager that you could improve the seamlessness of the life/death experience without demanding more from the machines/slowing your battle against lag.
I'd love to see my pod split open and a frozen corpse fly out with goo crystalizing and all that, but hell, I'll take a kind of visual effect where you see it explode like most any other ship and then your screen narrows to tunnel vision like you're being pulled away like Tony Gonzales describes in EVE Empyrean Age. Something, anythin
OO I know. Add a cut scene of you waking up in the cloning station, getting dressed and leaving. Then cut to a scene of you entering your captains quarters through the mysterious locked door.... Completely a video cut scene that could be disabled in the menu.
Would be really good for immersion. |

Yeah, I could go for a neat lil video maybe the first time you get podded, for the noobs, but I'm as concerned about refitting and redeploying quickly as the next guy. Gotta keep the regular everyday clip/effect/whatever short. |

Well, put a tick box right under load station environment to disable it. But I would agree anything over 10-15 seconds would be too long.
I just though actually have a video of you entering your quarters through the locked door would be cool. it would help make the station feel bigger than your captains quarters. Even if you could not interact with it. |

Supported. Every experience should be cool, even the ones that suck. |

But none of that matters, because all you experience was up to the transfer process. All that is after, and that info is a lost fork. Not to say that there shouldn't be some confusing stuff, but it would be experienced during/after upload in the cloning bay. |
