Counter: As there is no monthly subscription fee for this game, who gives a poo poo if people "turn and burn"? Haven't they already paid for the game? And as far as people leaving I wonder how many people have bought Elite, played for a week, then realized they need to dedicate far more time to it than they ever can provide and stopped playing? People with families and jobs can't usually dump 30 hours a week in to a game. Plus this is the age of limited attention spans...I'm thirsty

Counter-counter: He didn't source his quote, but it definitely was not :nallears: who wrote that.

Eh, not quite the same. The Remlok helmet deploys from the collar of the pilot's suit, sweeps up the back of their neck and head, and then drops over and in front of their face. Long hair would need to be secured at all times, potentially tucked into the neck of the suit, or up in a short ponytail (which is an available hairstyle in-game).

Also in this setting, there's no artificial gravity (suits are magnetic and most surfaces of the ship are designed to work with that). One of the reasons that Imperial capital ships have that rotating ring is, rather than be highly automated like the Federation's, they have large crews of slaves to consider for long term tours in space. Adders also have cupholders with mugs with covers that are designed to work in zero-g! :eng101:
