we wish evolve ideas instead of talking about people...This game has many "layers", different player have different wishes here. Not everybody is a natural born predator (to be polite)

And apparently not everybody has an IQ above room temperature, either.

Again, come off it.

Ehhhhh, I'm not all for being a gunner from anywhere. I like the realism the current system. Also, it's fun to fly in space taxis like "Corvus Cab." xP

Given that we are able to transform personalities into information in-game (or else, we would really die when our ships blow up), this information could be transferred (we obviously have FTL communication, because it is near-instantaneous across the entire universe) to generic bodies in the gunner positions.

Realism has nothing to do with it...

As Toshiro said, this "ressurection" aspect makes that possible. Its a sort of death-requiring-teleportation as implemented now.

Those who saw new Galactica (and Caprica preview) will remember the cylon ressurection concept, works fine and is almost exactly equal to VO's.

Ok, same idea, "gunner from anywhere" would allow also:

1) More multi-player, coop.

2) Pocket-capships: A moth with lots of extra armour, almost no cargo hold. Perfect for training of future capship pilots and gunners, and reinforce convoys defense.

3) Mission Join escort as gunner. Possibly both on capship and other players' moth when available. Ideal for a mentor intive all their mentored for a profitable ride...

Also seems better to, when undocking at stations, offer option to (stay at station) or (spawn back where your active ship is/you was before /gunner)
