As per multiple CIG devs going back at least a few years, the game is moving away from the REQUIREMENT that a player use a bed to log out of the game and can thus log out ALMOST anywhere in the game world at ALMOST anytime and then return in-game at the spot you last logged out of the game. In my opinion, this is an AMAZING shift in development. In my opinion, the fundamental concept of making a player HAVE to log out of the game in the bed of a spaceship was broken from the very beginning, and I'm surprised it took this long to realize it. However, I congratulate CIG for coming to the correct decision, even if a bit delayed. HOWEVER, I have (and I'm sure likewise, the community has) questions. LOTS of questions. CIG, @discolando , Can we have a conversation, a spectrum post, a tweet, or a note scribbled on a napkin that gives players some ideas as to how this is thought to work? I'm not a person who cares about past 'promises' (with a lower case "p") about how the game will work. It's a game in development, things change, and I get that. That being said, I (for one, and I am sure there are many others without speaking for anyone) would be interested to hear the gameplay basics about: Do Ship Beds still have a purpose/benefit? Will players be required to bring equipment to log out (bed roll, tent, sleep pod, etc)? Or can they just 'raw-dog' a logout without penalty? If so, would one type of equipment confer greater benefits/lower penalties than the use of another type of equipment? If not, what penalties would be imposed on players for logging out without using a bed (ship-based or otherwise)? Will a player's single-seat ship, vehicle, etc., remain in the world after they log out? What about a ship or vehicle with a bed? Can a player log out inside an instanced area? If not what happens if the player "Force" logs out? etc. I have no doubt these conversations have taken place at an internal level as this topic has been brought up to the community on more than one occasion. While its not the end of the world to wait, having some preliminary information on this topic seeing how its a MAJOR change to how the game has operated thus far, I feel warrants some discussion/information provided to the community. Obviously, everything is subject to change.
