Today we are starting a Star Citizen series about game concepts & development telling you what we know so far about certain game aspects & compiling them into easily digestable information. To start with I thought we would talk to you about Character Creation, Injury and Final Death.

The Character creation screen will be done “in-fiction”. You’ll start the game in 1st person view looking at two bathroom doors – one with a male sign and one with a female sign. Which door you walk through will determine what sex you are when you walk into the washroom. Walking up to the mirror, you’ll see your reflection. Wiping the condensation off of the mirror with your hand (or some similar mechanic) will change / reveal your facial appearance. When you’re happy with how you look, you will exit and return to the UEE recruitment office and officer. You’ll fill in your name on the MobiGlas form and also specify your beneficiary in case of death: this could be a family member, son, daughter, uncle, aunt or someone entirely new 

You create a character, that character can die
Normally if your character that bleeds out or something happens to incapacitate him he will respawn on a nearby planet in a medical facility sometimes with a new limb or some form of perma damage. So this could be him not ejecting in time, taking too much damage in FPS or someone blowing his escape pod up too.
If you get incapacitated too much or get Brutally headshot / explode in space
you will permantly die or are at least more likely to perma die.

What Happens when you die?
You can create new character or choose a character as an heir - They inherit all of you stuff assuming it was insured or safe. You have no idea how many lives you have!

There are likely to be penalties to dying such as
Losing Reputation with factions
Losing some money Death Tax?
A Time period sorting out your ships
Do you keep ALL of your stuff?

Ship Insurance - It's on the Hull of the Ship & passed down to you heir. The Thief does not get the Insurance tho :p

PVP Slider
You don't have to participate in PVP if you don't want. But if you are bounty hunting players. There are going to be harsh penalties for people destroying other peoples escape pods & big bounties placed on them from NPCs and players alike.

Healing & Recovery
So people are going to get missions to save players and npcs that go down, eject or require medical assistance. Now we are not entirely sure how that will impact the "lives" or condition of a player.

We do know that there is a system to cater for players that want to go round as paramedics tho!

Again if you are injured during the FPS side then players can stabilise you & get you back on your feat, but will require a medical facility of some kind to get you fully properly healed, sometimes shots will knock you down or cause you to start bleeding, you really have to be careful. Field repairs are just that, get you back on your feat. And for anyone that has seen the FPS module healing and dragging it looks like it's going to be a great in game mechanic. I am hoping you can drag them all the way back to your Cutlass Red that has landed planet side!

So it's looking like we are going to have a system where people fear death, players will want to help each other & some will even profit from it.
