As the smoke clears from your decimated capsule your terminally wounded corpse will now be shown gently spinning as life slips away and your camera drones offline. You have a moment to reflect on your unfortunate demise and take in the scenery one last time before a new clone is activated and your consciousness is transferred.

This is cool :)

open space does tend towards the cool end of the temperature spectrum.
Pod's are nice and cosy and warm

So will the death animation add to the amount of time it takes to re-gear and un-dock to re-join the fight? I only say this because I've met a few interdiction fields. I imagine it wouldn't take forever but time is ISK. I still can't wait to get podded on SiSi though.

Yes, they have been doing that. I would guess that they would continue that trend here. They also disabled the UI during the warp sequence, which might cause problems during the ship to pod transition (since you may be frantically trying to escape before you are warp disrupted). So far the transitions have been good, and I am also looking forward to a new undocking/docking transition as well.

Had similar thoughts myself

I'm hoping for a V3 of the corpses if we're gonna be looking at them more. They do look a bit sorry in their current state. With a bit of rework they could be truly grotesque!

They won't be changing in Odyssey, but I heard some stories about disgusting bodies in the art department.... let's hope they are working on new corpses for us

For a moment I thought you might really surprise the eve community and open the door.

Have we now heard it all, or is there still more to be revealed?

I'm assuming a patch is going to hit between now and this test? I tried getting podded yesterday and I didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

Pod death is as it should be : minimalist, yet extremely dramatic. I love the duration, no need to shorten a transition as anyway being podded means that you can't join back the field immediately again.
Eventually, as the screen remains black for a long time with only a little text, adding a "Memory transfer in progress" with three dot alternatively fading or something like that, in the middle of the screen, could be cool to show that the game hasn't crashed or anything. (And it would definitely be cool ! :D) I admit, it's useless !

And yet it seemed perfectly reasonable to you that it should be disabled for the new jump animation? Or has that been re-thought after ppl who actually play the game told you it was not the greatest decision...?

Getting podded was pretty awesome, although it seemed to take a lot longer to show up in the clone station than on TQ.

The "clone grade alpha, upgrade needed" in the lower left was a bit confusing, since I knew I was going into an omicron-grade clone. I get that it's there to remind people to re-upgrade after getting podded, but it could maybe be phrased a bit better to make that obvious.

Transition from ship->pod is nice, although at one point I experienced the camera zooming all the way in to the pod even though I had been zoomed all the way out on my ship. Probably would be best to not move the camera around like that.

Edit: Just tested by self-destructing, and the camera zoomed in on the pod again, so it looks like it does that every time...

Hey guys. I just had a chance to see the ship/pod kills. AWESOME! Very nice work! It would be nice if the bodies were actually modeled on our characters, even if it was just on our screen :) I mean, you guys did spend all that tech and goodwill capital on creating avatars and WiS. That'd be a good way to use some of it.

i could not find the highly configurable warning system i was looking for :(

there were some options, but it was far away from being highly configurable

I cant seem to locate a setting to turn off the flashing "hull critical" off without turning off the sound alert. i would like to keep the sound alerts.

I also file a bug report about code appearing on screen after my ship was destroyed and i entered a pod. Did you guys receive it as i made a mistake when loading?

Someone wanna fraps and youtube it for who haven't got the test server running :D
