Quick idea for hovercrafts

[EmeraldSkye]

You know, as cool as hovercrafts would be, I'd be perfectly happy to have hovercraft interiors, and nothing more than that.

I remember it was when I was logging off not long after I had joined my first Crew, and I thought, "You know, wouldn't it be cool if we had two kinds of jacking out: the normal kind that quits the game, and an in-game kind that lets you leave the Matrix but wake up in your Matrix-jacking chair back in your Crew's hovercraft? Like have the interior of a hovercraft to serve as your Crew's "headquarters"? And the larger your crew is, the larger the hovercraft's area is (from a two- or three-man Logos-sized hovercraft to a massive God-knows-how-many-man hovercraft that would dwarf the Osiris and the Nebuchadnezzar)? And, of course, you'd have to pick a separate "hobo wear" outfit for your Redpill while in the Real. And Emerald would naturally be a Plain Jane brunette because I'm gonna let you in on a secret: the green hair is just a Virtual Reality dye job...."

And, of course, there's always the chance that one of your crewmates might take a Reputation dump and switch Organizations, leading to the occasional hovercraft-side skirmish. But that could lead to permadeath, couldn't it? Die in the Real and that's it; no reconstructing your RSI when you're a pile of plasma-charred meat in the hovercraft's bridge. Okay, so that last part might suck, but I do like the rest of my jack-out-into-the-hovercraft idea....

Too bad the devs never thought to toss that in. Alas.

Keep in mind at first were going to simply have a giant chat room at best. So start getting used to that idea.

Ooh! Think Morpheus will ever animate a bunch of Agents just to antagonize us?
