Hi, what if a player is standing on a station that is being attacked and the module he is standing on gets destroyed.
What will the player see around him?
Will the player die? He should be but has this possibility been thought of in the game coding?
What if the enemy is shooting at a point very near the player, will the player see the laser hit and if he gets hit by one, does it do anything to him?
Personally, I have been on a few stations that got attacked by one or 2 small ships but nothing happened. I could hear it shooting but I am guessing he was not shooting at the module where I was on. No module got destroyed. So I never experienced the above situation I am asking about.

When an entity dies it kills all entities attached to it, including the player. Hence if the player is on a S ship on a frigate on a dock and the dock gets destroyed then the dock, frigate, S ship and player all die.

You should try this out for a laugh,
On one of your station docks, have a builder working on the station.
Now ! Be in your ship on that dock and remove the dock from the build plan!
Your ship will disintegrate along with the dock !
Now if you are quick, and have a second dock close by. You can fly over to the 2nd dock, leap out quickly!!
Then watch your ship still disintegrate,
When it has vanished it reappears . But has bits missing. Ladder, cockpit lights. etc.
That reborn ship will continue to function very well. But all that cockpit guff will be missing.
