dematerialisation? Nope, just nanites in the cloned body reacting to the death of their host and destroying the matter... vehicles have a similar nanite destruction process which is activated automatically

And what happens to the nanites after they are done? They crawl back to the nearest CRU or supply depot? Or maybe they use some micro warp drives?

And, if nanites are always there in the dropsuit or vehicle why do we need injectors, reppers or hives? Can't they just put things in shape instead of the reverse process? Hugh? o.O

(...)the nanites used are purely destructive and only activate on death :-p

I could see people snagging a cheap dropship, hovering it over a hallway they'd like to close off and jumping out. Suddenly you've got a roadblock of blown out dropship. It sounds cool, but I'd probably rather not see it happen.

You could clear them "by hand". This could take several rounds from MD or with (not present yet) salvager module. This additional effort suddenly needed to clear wrecks "by hand" could add another layer of game play.

If it is problem to make it "mandatory" in all game modes it could be added as another battle "flavour". To test it out and see how it feels. Like "Ambush" and "Ambush OWS" are now.

"Ambush PWB"? - Permanent Wrecks & Bodies?

(...)You... I like the way you think.

If you are sure about that, i want to see more "Likies"

This is probably done to reduce the number of objects the program has to kep track of for performance reasons.

Also, just imagine the piles of bodies littering the ground and blocking all the paths. It would be a real nuisance.

It's more of a rendering issue than a processing issue, but yes too much junk (specifically 'skeletal' junk like dropsuits, vehicles and instalations) would cause massive performance issues.

(...)No to the bodies. First, CCP needs to keep the T rating, and if they ever want to get this game into China, the Chinese government does not like bodies lying around on the ground.(...)
